Understanding Grief, Loss and Bereavement with AtaLoss: Session 1

Understanding Grief, Loss and Bereavement with AtaLoss: Session 1

If you’ve been or are currently affected by loss, grief or bereavement, you’ll know that it can be difficult to talk about your experiences and to process how you’re feeling. In Understanding Grief, Loss and Bereavement with AtaLoss, Dr Roger Greene, Deputy Chief Executive at AtaLoss, introduces a new series of twilight sessions aimed at supporting anyone navigating bereavement.

Running from May to July, this series will explore different dimensions of bereavement, strategies to manage difficult emotions, how to support others, the importance of language used when discussing grief, and how to care for our own health and wellbeing during challenging times.

🕯️In this first session, Roger introduces AtaLoss and explores:
• Loss, grief, mourning and bereavement, and the difference between these states.
• The importance of processing grief for personal wellbeing.
• How to normalise loss and grief.
• How to recognise the difference between normal grief and mental ill health.
• The significance of attachments and separations in handling loss and grief.

The second session with AtaLoss will be hosted on the 28th of May.
