The word “grief” is the simple shorthand we use for what is actually a highly complex mixture of thoughts and feelings. Grief is everything we think and feel inside after someone we love dies or leaves or something we are attached to goes away. In other words, grief is the instinctive human response to loss. Alan Wolfelt

The Grief Journey provides an overview of the varied experiences of grief, and the way grief impacts one’s mind, body and spirit. Rather than a presentation on how to “get over” grief, we will cover ways to care for yourself and others who are grieving, throughout the grief journey.
