Grief Management

How can we heal from—and even prepare for—grief, one of life’s inevitable experiences? Grief can take a toll both physically and emotionally, contributing to broken heart syndrome, depression, loneliness, and anxiety. This talk draws on current research and presents a mindfulness-based approach to understanding and managing grief. By shifting perspective, through “experiential learning,” we can uncover new ways to build resilience and support the healing process.
