Pillar 4 – Time
About the event
This session is part of the Grief Academy course Julia Samuel’s Pillars of Strength.
Time can bend and stretch when we are grieving, making us feel disconnected and disoriented. For example, however long ago we were bereaved, it can feel like the death happened yesterday and many years ago. Time is often also the way that we measure or judge our grieving process: Should I feel like this at this point in my grief? Am I ‘doing it wrong’? In fact, grieving is not a linear process and there is no set timetable.
In this session, Julia covers:
- How does our experience of time change when we’ve been bereaved?
- How might our relationship with grief shift over time? Why doesn’t it follow a set timetable?
- How can we manage milestones and anniversaries?
- How can we set aside time to tend to our grief, while also looking after ourselves and managing other responsibilities?
Julia Samuel’s Pillars of Strength offers immediate access to eight recorded webinars – and accompanying resources – on demand for six months.
