Pillar 1 – Relationships with Others (Including People Who Have Died)
About the event
This session is part of the Grief Academy course Julia Samuel’s Pillars of Strength.
Our relationships with other people are key to a good and happy life. And so, when someone significant in our life dies, it is not surprising that we feel like the world has turned upside down. Bereavement can put pressure on our relationships with friends and family, who may grieve differently to us or not offer the support we would like. Our relationship with the person who died also changes irrevocably, requiring us to find new ways to maintain our connection with them.
In this session, Julia covers:
- How do our relationships with others – including people who have died – change as we change?
- How might we experience grief if we had a difficult relationship with the person who died?
- What determines how we form relationships and how does this affect how we respond to bereavement?
- How can we maintain our connection with a person who has died whilst also allowing other relationships to grow?
- How does bereavement affect our relationships with other people?
Julia Samuel’s Pillars of Strength offers immediate access to eight recorded webinars – and accompanying resources – on demand for six months.
