Passages...through grief Leader's Guide: Healing Life's Losses - Paperback

by Mary Ann Lippincott (Author), Gc-C Susan H. Williams (Author)

We experience any number of losses through death, relationships, health or community. Usually we feel alone in our grief. Passages...through Grief offers ways to respond to our loss with a healing process. This Leader's Guide is for use in a group setting. The companion for individual group members is Passages...through grief Participant's Manual. Materials are provided to guide leaders in the 6-week program, group management, supports, and marketing. Leaders encourage grievers in healing though small steps: understanding grief and why we grieve the way we do; recognizing and dealing with the difficult feelings like guilt, anger, and forgiveness; developing skills for self-care; letting go of tough memories and feelings; and retaining valuable memories. Time alone does not heal - we can use time to do the work that brings healing.
