Grief — What to Expect and How to HELP
This interactive training brings insight to grief and its impact. We will explore misconceptions, cultural influences, and practical ways to compassionately respond to someone in grief.
Compassionate Listening Skills
In our statement-driven culture where everyone shares their opinion who is listening? Poor listening skills lead to misunderstanding. Learn the art of asking questions that invite more honest communication.
Caring for the Bereaved in a Mourning-Avoidant Culture
People feel silenced and abandoned by an avoidant culture that doesn’t understand grief. Dana brings awareness to the taboo topics of death and mourning and their impact on individuals, institutions, and our culture.
Seminars to offer the bereaved in your organization:
Navigating the Grief Journey
How long does grief last? Is there an end? Those who've experienced loss learn how grief impacts five primary domains of life and how to better navigate their journey.
Responses to Grief — Cultural and Personal Expectations
Grief is a normal part of life yet often ignored in our get-over-it and move-on culture. Mourners learn how to process their pain of grief in honest, healthy ways.
Grief and Mourning — Influencers that Make THE Journey Unique
While grief is common, every individual responds differently. Attendees learn commonalities of grief while discovering why their loss is different.
Obstacles to “Getting Over” Grief
Do your co-workers feel stuck in grief, unable to move toward hope or living? This seminar explores what may be impeding their path and guides them how to engage in their healing process.
The Importance of “Catch Up” Mourning
Suppressed or unattended grief often gets buried. Buried grief becomes carried grief. This seminar shows how to honor a loss, no matter how old the pain. It is never too late to heal.
