There is increasing recognition that our grief often moves in a non-linear fashion, rather than moving through a clear and predictable set of stages. Even so, theories—from the stages theories of Elizabeth Kubler Ross to the task theories of William Worden—can shed light on our experiences of bereavement.

In this online discussion workshop, we look at the great amount we have in common and the huge range of differences between us. Where does it intersect with other types of grief? What can make us less likely/more likely to connect with others who have a different set of grief experiences?

An online discussion workshop in which we explore as a group how COVID-19 has coloured our existing grief for our children, siblings and grandchildren.

In this "Topics Around Grief" discussion workshop, the facilitators will draw upon their own bereavement experiences to open group discussion on where parent and sibling grief are similar, where parental grief and sibling grief are unique from one another, and how parents and siblings can support one another.

Thinking about TERMINOLOGY
We invite you to join and contribute to this Topics Around Grief workshop. Here, we will identify and discuss the terminology commonly used to describe experiences of grief and bereavement. What do we think of the terms that we hear? Which terminology do we feel particularly captures and properly represents our experiences of grief? Are there some we feel would benefit from review? Are there some that are definitely not ok with you?
