Description: The human experiences of grief and heartbreak are always difficult, yet additional challenges come with navigating grief in a society that struggles with both mortality and emotional expression. Supporting the profound grief of individuals and families who are experiencing a serious diagnosis or a death can stretch even the most skilled professionals regardless of discipline. The goal of grief is not to land at acceptance or “get over it” but rather integrate it into one’s life in the healthiest way possible. However, since the pandemic, new challenges have emerged, creating additional barriers to a healthy grief process.

This webinar is tailored to those working in healthcare but also applicable to those working in other environments. It will identify common myths and misconceptions about grief, as well as current theoretical approaches to grief and bereavement. We will also share resources and practical strategies for supporting a healthy grief process, not only in those whom we support, but also in ourselves.

Learning objectives:

• Be able to describe common myths and misconceptions about grief.
• Be able to identify several current theoretical approaches to grief and bereavement.
• Acquire practical strategies for supporting a healthy grief process not only in those who we support, but also in ourselves.
• Identify web and literary grief-specific resources.
