A workshop for adults (18+) who are mourning the death of a loved one, and are seeking support and tools to normalize, validate, and cope with their grief emotions and loss experiences.

When someone we love dies, it is common to feel like a part of us dies alongside them. The pain of grief is often minimized, especially in Westernized cultures, and many of us are left feeling lost, isolated, and activated in the aftermath of losing someone we love. In this intimate, supportive 2-hour workshop, you are invited to join Margy, one of our grief-focused therapists at Room to Breathe, to: 1) normalize, validate, and deepen your understanding of grief emotions and death-loss experiences, 2) learn best practices about tending to and honoring your grief and ways to care for self, 3) engage in somatic and mindfulness practice to connect with and move your emotions, and 4) be in community with others who are also mourning the death of a loved one. 

“Grief is a practice, not a problem to fix…a practice of holding on and letting go, of letting in and letting out…a practice of being human.” -Monique Minahan, The Grief Practice

What to expect:

• 90 min: brief psycho-education on grief emotions and coping tools, and individual + group reflection.
