Edina Community Education

This class is for people who are looking for guidance to support someone they know who is grieving a loss. Do you know someone who is grieving? What should you say?  What should you do? Even with the best of intentions, most people struggle to find the right words or deeds to support those they're close to who are grieving a loss.

Feeling uncomfortable, or fearing they'll make the person feel worse, they simply do nothing - which adds a sense of abandonment to the grief and leaves the griever struggling even more. 

This 90 minute workshop will help people be more comfortable and better able to support the grievers they care about. It is intended for friends, family, or community members who want to learn how to support children, young adults, or adults who have experienced the death of a loved one. 

This workshop will: 

• Provide an understanding of what grief is and how it manifests. 
• Introduce meaningful steps for supporting someone who is grieving. 
• Inform as to what to say and what to avoid and suggest actions that are truly helpful 

This course is being offered in person once and once online. You will receive the Zoom link once you register.
