We experience any number of losses through death, relationships, health or community. Usually we feel alone in our grief. Passages…through Grief offers ways to respond to our loss with a healing process. This Leader’s Guide is for use in a group setting. The companion for individual group members is Passages…through grief Participant’s Manual. Materials are provided to guide leaders in the 6-week program, group management, supports, and marketing. Leaders encourage grievers in healing though small steps: understanding grief and why we grieve the way we do; recognizing and dealing with the difficult feelings like guilt, anger, and forgiveness; developing skills for self-care; letting go of tough memories and feelings; and retaining valuable memories. Time alone does not heal - we can use time to do the work that brings healing.
