The Bereavement Journey® online national programme run by AtaLoss Oct-Nov

The Bereavement Journey® is a place to talk: 7 Sessions of films and discussion for anyone, whether grieving a death now, or wanting to explore a previous bereavement that may be unresolved. This course is for bereaved adults to do their own grief work, supported by a Participant Manual and facilitated by volunteers.

The sessions run weekly on Thursdays from 9th October to 27th November with a break on Thursday 30th October because of half-term.

Attendance is recommended for all the Sessions, although it is possible to join at Session 2. It is most beneficial to attend at least a few weeks after the death - ideally after the funeral, but this is not essential and The Bereavement Journey® can benefit those in anticipatory grief, also pregnancy loss.

Topics include:

• Attachment, separation and loss

• The pain and responses of grief

• Anger and guilt

• Coping with others’ reactions

• Delayed and suppressed grief

• Adjusting to change

• Moving forward healthily

Faith is reserved for the final, 7th session on Faith Questions in Bereavement from a Christian perspective, which is optional, making the course suitable for anyone of any faith or none.

This course is online running on Thursday evenings with log-in 7/7.15pm for 7.30pm. Guests do their own grief work. Each Session consists of 2 films followed by discussion with a short break between. The course is most beneficial at least a few weeks after the death and attendance at all Sessions is recommended.

This course is the central online course run by AtaLoss to help bereaved adults to process a bereavement. Each attendee must be processing a recent or past death, and bookings must be made per person, with individuals on different devices. If you have booked to learn how to run the course, will be attending from another country, or if you need to access the course on the same device as someone else, please contact us on info@thebereavementjourney.org. Also, please indicate on the form if someone you know is helping or intending to book the same course, as, where appropriate, we endeavour to put people who know each other into different groups.

Groups are set in advance and course places are limited. We will do all we can to allocate you to your group of preference. If we can’t offer you your first choice, we will offer you one which, from our experience, will be beneficial to you, unless you indicate you would prefer to wait for a future course.

The information you provide on this form is for the sole purpose of the delivery and management of The Bereavement Journey course you are about to attend and will be destroyed at the end of the course unless you indicate otherwise. For further information please see our GDPR policy.

By booking this course you agree to log-on somewhere quiet on your own, have your camera turned on and not to record a session.
