Into the Heart of Grieving: Film screening and workshop

As with all aspects of death in Western culture, grief is often ignored, denied,

or isolated. In this workshop it get our full attention. Beginning with the

screening of the documentary, "The Heart of Grieving," you are invited to take a

journey from diagnosis to death to mourning as four individuals recall the

arduous and at times ecstatic process of grief. We will explore anticipated

grief, final moments, last wishes, honoring the dead and living with loss. By

listening to each other’s needs and experiences, patients, caregivers and

grievers may gain insights and potent ideas about what to do.
