The Seasons of Grief - Child Loss (12 week program)

The 12-week Program is more in-depth and walks you through the healing journey to a place of acceptance. You will take the steps to finding peaceful gratitude for experiencing the beautiful soul your child was while starting to rebuild joy and purpose back into your life.

Healing from grief begins by first understanding exactly what grief is, why we experience it the way we do and what happens with unprocessed grief. This module covers:

• Understanding the grieving process and the difference between grief & bereavement.
• Understanding the different types of grief such as complicated, prolonged and complex.
• Tools/Exercises to understand where we are in our grieving.

Navigating the emotions that rise and fall like a storm. We will address the various emotions such as anger, guilt, anxiety, panic, sadness, fear while learning strategies for coping and managing them.

This is not a journey to take alone as it slows down and can delay healing. We explore the various options for emotional support, how to ask for it, how to accept it and how to stop withdrawing in our grief.

How do you face grief head-on?  In this lesson we work our courage muscle to stay present with our grief, as we work our way to acceptance and ultimately healing.

In today's lesson we look at ways to honour our loved one as we face holidays, anniversaries, birthdays without them. 

When we never get to the acceptance stage we can enter complicated grief,  We look at what complicated grief is and apply strategies to overcome (and if possible - avoid).

Losing a child is the ultimate tragedy, and we must be patient with ourselves (and others) as we navigate this monumental loss. As a parent we can take on blame when there is nowhere else to place it. In this lesson we focus on how to find patience and how to let go of any self-blame.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is step out of the darkness of grief and back into the light of living again. We address our reasons for holding onto our grief and begin taking steps back into learning to love life again.

Losing an only child can also strip away our identity as a Mom, or Dad. Are we still a Mom or Dad without our child? How do we answer "Do you have children?"  or the "How many kids do you have?"  We answer these questions and more together.

Grief is usually associated with mental health, but grief can take a huge toll on your physical health as well.  We look at how it affects us physically and methods to ensure we take good care of our bodies so our hearts and minds can heal.

Self-care is vital to your healing! We introduce self-care methods and coping tools such as journalling, meditation, setting boundaries and more.

Grief changes us and that can have a profound effect on our relationships. Parents grieve differently which, without understanding and communication, can create an insurmountable void. Grandparents, extended family, friends, co-workers - trying to nurture and navigate all of this while also trying to manage your grief can be overwhelming. 

In this bonus session you learn that letting go of loss doesn't mean letting go of love.  Your child is still very much loved even if they are not physically here with you.  Discover ways you can keep that love and remember them with smiles, laughter and a different kind of tears.
