‘Loss and Grief in Later Life’
https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/loss-and-grief-in-later-life-tickets-471074024087
Description
Bereavement and loss are common experiences for older adults and can have a pervasive impact on health and well-being. Therefore, supporting older adults to grieve, to reflect and adapt to challenges facing them in later life is important. This workshop will consider losses across both the lifespan and accumulative losses specific to later life. The workshop will be experiential in nature using multi-media, group work techniques and mindfulness. It will draw on the current literature and theory in loss and grief in later life. How grief is experienced across various cultures will be also explored.
