Bereavement is a natural process. In modern times there can be a tendency to "send" people to counselling if they are not "coping".
Explore the bereavement process and how people can be supported through the process by good use of effective listening skills.
How do I cope when people cry with me?
What do I do when they ask my advice?
How can we acknowledge both the life and death of someone?
Learn where and when a referral to counsellors may be necessary.
“We need to stop pathologising grief – it is an important part of life’s journey – but many of us could be better equipped to support people going through it” - Rachel Hudson, Tutor
