The Irish Hospice Foundation would like to invite you to our annual bereavement information evening, Living with Loss.

We know the past few years have been difficult and isolating and we want to provide connection and solace for all those grieving. So, whether you have experienced a bereavement this year or at an earlier time, or you are concerned about a child or friend who is grieving and wish to help, we encourage you to attend. We will share some reflections on bereavement and give information on the supports that are available.

Description

This workshop explores the journey of grief and loss for individuals who have experienced loss in various ways not just through death. It will illustrate ways that can enhance coping for the bereaved individual and help them process their grief. The workshop will help participants to understand the normal reactions to grief and loss and explore how reactions can be more complex and require greater interventions. Contemporary theories and models of grief and loss will be explored. The workshop will be experiential in nature and suitable for both professionals and those working with people who have experienced loss and bereavement.
