From Grief to New Hope Eight Week Workshop (Virtual or In-Person)

Mondays, September 18th - November 6th, 2023, 6:45pm - 8:30pm

The “From Grief to New Hope” Eight Week Workshop combines the educational components of a seminar with the safety and support of a peer group. This workshop is available in person and virtually, to adults who are grieving the death of a loved one regardless of how long it has been since the loss occurred. This workshop is a safe place to express your grief and begin the healing process. Each session includes a speaker, and then participants are placed into small groups with others who are a similar age and have experienced similar loss. Small groups are guided by facilitators who have also experienced similar loss and have traveled their own grief journey.

Hosted by the Grief Alliance of Michigan, Livingston County Chapter

Join us on October 7th from 1-4pm at Howell High School for a free community event called "Coming Together in Grief."

During this event attendees will have a chance to visit booths and learn more abut our organization as well as other grief support that is available in the area.

There will be a screening of the movie "Speaking Grief," which focuses on the idea that grief is an universal experience rather than something that needs to be fixed. This powerful film is validating for those who are already grieving, and illuminating for those who wish to support others in grief.

Attendees are invited to stay after the film for a panel composed of leaders in grief support from around the community. We will discuss what the community is doing well to support grievers what challenges still remain, and what we will do next. This is a wonderful opportunity for those who are grieving to learn more about the resources in our community and have a say in what would be helpful to them.
