Shapes of Grief Webinar

As part of Palliative Care Week 2022 (11 – 17 September), Liz Gleeson (Psychotherapist, host of Shapes of Grief podcast) and All Ireland Institute of Hospice and Palliative Care are delighted to invite you to a webinar: Shapes of Grief – an exploration of grief before & after death. This webinar is open to the general public across the island of Ireland. It will take place on Tuesday 13 September from 7-9pm.

The webinar will explore:

• An exploration of Loss and Grief
• A look at what the research tells us about grief and how to support people in grief
• Anticipatory Grief – when it occurs and how to support it
• Ambiguous Loss – when something is lost, but it’s not always obvious
• How grief can affect our body
• How to cultivate a compassionate approach when supporting bereaved people

It will be an interactive webinar that will last for 120-minutes. It will include a presentation from Liz Gleeson as well as time for reflections and questions.
