Bow Valley Palliative and Covenant Health are partnering to co-facilitate a 6-week Fall Grief Support Group. &nbsp; &nbsp;Grief is a natural human response to loss. Anticipatory Grief is what we think and feel in the weeks, months, (and sometimes years) ahead of an impending loss. &nbsp;&nbsp;In session 4 -&nbsp;Anticipatory Grief,&nbsp;we will explore how anticipatory grief is experienced, types of losses, and coping tools. Participants will have an opportunity to gently explore their own grief through small group discussion followed by whole group conversation. This session closes by looking at meditation and healing practices to nurture ourselves as we sorrow.&nbsp; There is no cost to attend the sessions however, pre-registration is recommended. Participants may enroll in all six sessions or select those topics of most interest. &nbsp;&nbsp;Session Dates: &nbsp; Sept 23 &ndash; Five Gates of Grief &nbsp; Oct 7 &ndash; The Losses We Do Not Name&nbsp; Oct 21 &ndash; When Caring Changes: Grieving the Person We Were Before&nbsp; Nov 3 &ndash; Anticipatory Grief&nbsp; Nov 18 &ndash; Time Warp: Feeling Sorrow When the World Moves On&nbsp; Dec 2 &ndash; Forgiveness&nbsp; Visit <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.bvpal.ca/events" id="isPasted" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">https://www.bvpal.ca/events</a> for more information about all our upcoming events!
