Navigating Grief and Loss with Dina Bell-Laroche
September 29, 2024 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

An engaging session to help us enhance our capacity to bear witness to our personal grief experience in a healthy way. Join us for an in-person workshop with Dina Bell-Laroche, Bereavement Specialist, Grief Doula and Author. This workshop includes a copy of Dina’s book, participating in a Grief Café, group discussion, book signing and time for Q&As.
This event is for you if:
· You have anticipatory grief
· You are in early grief
· You are in mature grief
· You support a griever
Our current culture is grief and mourning phobic, not inviting people to recognize, honour, and express their grief. Too often, we are encouraged to stay strong, be brave, and focus on the future. Grief is our natural response to death of a loved one. Join us as Dina shares her wisdom to enhance our capacity to bear witness to our personal experience in a healthy way.
