Don’t Worry, Be Happy?
A seminar on healthy and unhealthy grief and healthy and unhealthy worrying.
Thursday, April 23, 2015 | 7:00 – 9:00 pm – Free of charge and open to the public
The craziness of grief encompasses a vast array of reactions. But at what point does our grief become unhealthy? Join us as we examine the boundaries of healthy grief. Then, we will look at a common grief reaction: Worry. The death of a loved one brings a whole new level of worries such as: How can I go on? What’s going to happen next? How are my family members coping? In this workshop you will NOT be told not to worry. Instead come ready to discover some strategies for sorting out what is healthy and what might not be healthy grief.

A seminar for clergy, hospice, caregivers and those who grieve.

Death of this nature makes us feel shaken, uncertain, and vulnerable and can lead to complex issues. Join
