Grief and Loss in the Time of Corona
Grief and Loss in the Time of Corona
Our communities currently are experiencing so much loss, and have been over the past year. Through Zoom (full group and breakout rooms), this workshop will explore the elements of communal and individual loss through the lens of Corona. Our sense of community has drastically changed for so many, and it will be good to share and also learn from others what is working in establishing and maintaining connectivity and community.
You will learn and be able to:
• How communal grief & loss are present in our overall communities & be able to integrate this understanding in our work and practice
• A general overview of grief & loss and able to describe where you may be on the grief spectrum
• The importance of rituals in grief work & be able to list at least 5 ways to establish rituals in a virtual setting
• Biblio resources that you will be able to share with adults and children
