The Mourning After

When someone we love dies, it can feel as though an important part of ourselves has suddenly vanished.  It is often hard to imagine continuing to live through the pain and turmoil of grief.  This grief counseling program uses a wide range of interactive and creative interventions to assist in the healing process.  It is designed to help participants:

  • Understand predictable reactions to loss.
