Presentation

The Manitoba Multifaith Council Spiritual Health Committee, in collaboration with the Interfaith Healthcare Association of Manitoba, is pleased to present this half-day workshop on the subject of grief during this pandemic.

Anne Whitford-Fast and Lynn Granke will facilitate a process for participants to consider their own losses and via this experience, be able to help others in their faith communities give expression to their grief and find a way forward in this new normal.

Learning goals

  1. Identify various forms of grief including anticipatory, hidden and ambiguous (disenfranchised);
  2. Name losses being experienced;
  3. Consider how our responses to grief are impacted by the pandemic ;
  4. Identify strategies for expressing grief, mourning and adapting to our losses, and nurturing resilience.

Questions to reflect on prior to arrival: Name losses you’ve experienced:

  • What are you missing?
  • What hasn’t occurred that usually would have?
