These sessions are thoughtfully designed for healthcare professionals, families, and caregivers, offering relevant insights and practical guidance. All sessions are free of charge, and you are warmly invited to join us, either in-person or virtually.

Grief 101: Your Grief, Your Way 

Grief is a normal and natural response to loss, but much of what we've been told about "dealing with it" can actually hinder healing. This presentation challenges the popular, yet often misleading, notion of five rigid "stages" of grief. Instead, we'll explore the expansive landscape of emotions, bodily impacts, spiritual questions, and social complexities that can arise as you navigate your unique path through loss.

Location:

523 Plymouth Road, Suite 225
Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462

Beyond the Expected: Understanding Grief 

Grief is a universal, natural response to loss, yet each individual's journey is unique—without a "right" way to feel or a fixed timeline for recovery. This session explores grief's varied emotional, behavioral, intellectual, and physical expressions. We'll identify common reactions, provide actionable coping strategies, and offer guidance for supporting those experiencing loss.
