About this event

  • 2 hours

This workshop, developed and facilitated by grief counsellors at Victoria Hospice, is aimed to help people learn to live with their grief, following the death of a person who is important to them. We recommend that you give yourself at least one month after your loss before attending this workshop due to the overwhelming nature of grief.

Join us as we:

  • Share and support one another in your grieving experiences
  • Better understand grieving and mourning
  • Explore the many ways that grief can impact our lives
  • Explain how grieving naturally works to help us live with our losses
  • Identify ways to support healthy adjustment to loss
  • Explore your continued connection to the person who has died
  • Have opportunities for you to reflect and share on the material
  • Answer your questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to bring anything?

Please bring whatever you need to be comfortable, such as pen and paper, lap blanket, etc. We will have some office supplies on hand, as well as tissues, water, tea, and handouts related to the workshop.

What if I cannot attend?

Please let us know as soon as possible so that we can try to fill your spot. As there are often more people interested than we have room for, we ask you to let us know if you are cancelling your attendance. Please call us at 250-519-3040 if you cannot attend.

Do I have to share or speak at the workshop?

Although this is an interactive workshop, you will never be expected to speak or share unless you choose to. Attendees will be invited to introduce themselves and who they are grieving (sharing their name), ask questions, and/or choose to give comments on the workshop material.

What if I want to attend for reasons other than currently grieving someone?

We hope that this workshop is dedicated to people who are grieving someone that is important to them who has died. If you have other reasons for your interest in grief education, please contact us at 250-519-3040 to see if there are other ways we can meet your needs.
