Understanding Grief and Bereavement

Bereavement and grief are things we will experience at some point in our lives. Most people associate grief with the loss of a loved one. We can also experience feelings of loss, grief and bereavement following the loss of a pet, the breakdown of a relationship, the loss of a job and on receiving a diagnosis of a terminal or life-limiting illness. This session will explore the relationship between loss, grief, bereavement and mental health; how we can manage grief in healthy ways; and how we can support others who are experiencing loss or grief
