Bereavement naturally results in the “dark night of the soul,” writes Dr. Wolfelt. A central need of those in grief is to rejuvenate the spirit, to discover a reason to get one’s feet out of bed in the morning. Dr. Wolfelt will explore:
- The importance of “companioning” vs. “treating” the bereaved
- Definitions of spirituality and faith
- Themes of spiritual importance to the bereaved
- Helping the bereaved reconstruct meaning and purpose in life
- A spiritual assessment tool
- Pain and suffering in the context of loss and grief
- Grief as a transformative experience
Plan to join us as we explore the very heart—spirituality—of death, grief, and mourning.
