Where there is change, there is Grief


Grief comes in many forms—both big "G" and small "g".

Whether you are mourning the loss of a loved one, a beloved pet, facing significant life changes like divorce, the end of a friendship, job loss, disconnection from your community, or children leaving the nest, this course is for you.

In this course, we will teach you the principles of the grief process that apply to all types, whether life-altering or “everyday” griefs. You will learn how to allow, attend, accept and release, as well as move through the sadnesses or worries that come with grief.

The Grief Course is a 4 session, 4 week, self-paced online course personally led by Daniela Hess and Jacob Vermeulen, educators in the field of Grief, Death and Loss.

II - Meeting the mind 

 Meeting our beliefs and connected emotions around the loss of our loved one. Feelings of guilt and regret can single-handedly stop the natural flow of grief. Truly acknowledging these thought and feeling is a key to get flowing.
