SUMMARY:Surviving the“Firsts” After Loss
DESCRIPTION:I have heard many times in a counseling session\, that the first year is the hardest. Many people tell me they feel confused\, they have difficulties with eating and sleeping\, and they feel overcome with the emotions of grief such as intense sadness\, anger\, guilt\, and loneliness. People tell me they feel isolated and the world is moving on without them. When these emotions subside\, we have chronological reminders of their passing that can trigger these intense feelings again such as the holidays\, birthdays\, anniversaries\, and events that they would shared in. \nI invite you to join for our monthly workshop about “Surviving the ‘Firsts’ After Loss.” You are not alone in this experience. Many grievers who come attend groups and workshops at the Grief Center share they find comfort in knowing they are not alone in their grief. We build connection through vulnerability\, and finding others who have experienced a new loss may be the thing we need to know we can move forward from this loss with strength and connection.

SUMMARY:Stories of the Season
DESCRIPTION:Understandably\, Andy Williams’ “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” is probably ‘hitting different’ (as the kids say) this year. November has arrived and the holiday season is upon us. We are expected to be in good spirits\, laugh and enjoy the company of others\, decorate\, and make enough food for an army at countless family gatherings. But this year\, perhaps all of that seems unattainable. Maybe this year the ‘sound of laughter filling in the air’ doesn’t feel as genuine as it did last year. \nThe holidays after the loss of a loved one feel empty\, lonely\, and sad. We may choose to lessen our holiday celebrations\, not decorate much\, or at all\, or we may choose to “skip” the holidays altogether. When my step-mother died at the beginning of December several years ago\, I went out to spend time with my dad and her daughter\, son-in-law and grandchildren. She had been sick for a few weeks before she passed and they had not prepared for Christmas. My aunt and I put up a tree and placed presents underneath for the children while my dad and step-sister grieved. They were fresh in their grief and definitely not in the holiday spirit\, and no one expected them to be. \nOur workshop this month is entitled “Stories of the Season.” We will share a meal together and learn about ways to cope through the holiday season. We can discuss how to tackle traditions\, family expectations and how to acknowledge the “elephant in the room.”
