Description

Hospice Foundation of America's 2022 Living with Grief® program focuses on the specific issues raised when losses are sudden and traumatic, shattering the bereaved individual’s assumptions that the world is safe, benevolent, or predictable. These deaths can be the result of accidents and disasters; suicides or overdoses; homicide and terrorism; military or service-related deaths; or the unpredictable trajectories of illnesses.

The beginning of this program we'll explore the factors that complicate grief. In the second half of the program we'll use case studies to highlight ways that such losses can be treated. The program concludes with a discussion of vicarious traumatization and strategies for self-care.

This event takes place at 10 a.m., Saturday, April 30, in the Central Library Mesa Community Room. Seating is limited, and registration is required. Please register below.
