How to Remember, Reflect, and Connect in Grief for Grievers and Everyone
CHPCA hosted this free and interactive webinar, presented by the Saint Elizabeth Foundation, in honour of National Grief and Bereavement Day 2024. Together, we got hands on with grief, and discovered how to show up for ourselves and for others in grief. Through simple activities, we explored different ways that grievers and those around them can remember, reflect, and connect with others and with their own loss.
