Replay & Resources

This webinar will focus on traumatic grief, a type of grief usually experienced by individuals who have had a loved one die in a sudden, unexpected manner.  The grieving experience is often different after a traumatic loss, and survivors are at increased risk for post-traumatic stress disorder and complicated grief.

 

During this unprecedented time of COVID-19, the majority of all deaths can be considered traumatic.   Despite the cause of death, many rites of the dying and rituals which often provide comfort at the end of life are no longer available, and their absence will impact the grieving process.  

 

We explore the three reasons why all death occurring during this unique time can be considered traumatic. We will focus on what happens when we do not have the ability...

1

To say goodbye

2

To engage in rituals of mourning

3

To be fully supported by family and friends during this time

We will also focus on how to create new strategies for healing and ways to navigate the grief journey during COVID-19.  The webinar will conclude with free grief services available for those who have lost a loved one in these unusual times.
