Dying with Dignity New South Wales End of life webinar – Grief and bereavement – Wednesday 4 September at 5pm
We really hope you can join the next in our series of end-of-life webinars. Our topic is Grief and bereavement – coming to terms with loss.
We will all experience loss, but bereavement impacts people in ways that can be unexpected and surprising. Everyone grieves in their own way and there is no “right way” to grieve.
In coming to terms with the death of someone close to us, it can help to understand the many ways that grief can manifest itself, both emotionally and physically. This can also help us, individually and as a community, to support others who have lost a loved one.
We now know that a loved one’s choice of voluntary assisted dying (VAD) can give rise to some unique feelings and some people want to speak with others who have been through the same experience.
Our guest speakers for this event are clinician and researcher Hayley Russell, Griefline Clinical Services Manager Marianne Bowdler and Dying with Dignity Victoria board member Jane Nosworthy.
They will share the many ways in which people might experience grief and loss, including how a loved one’s death using VAD might impact the grieving process. They will also cover the various services available to help people come to terms with their loss and the VAD support groups run by Griefline in partnership with Dying with Dignity Victoria.
