This is a one-time seminar introducing an approach to recover from the emotional pain caused by grief. This may be from any kind of loss, not just the death of a loved one. Presentation will: cover a comprehensive definition of grief, address the idea of closure, explain how unresolved emotions remain and affect us, explore common "myths" about grief that don't lead to healing, explain inadequacy of most coping behaviors, and share the benefits of the Grief Recovery Method program. Participants will hear a presentation from a certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist.
