This program is open to all and especially for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one to a sudden, unexpected death, but can also be valuable for someone who is supporting a grieving person. Survivors may feel regret, guilt and anger over their loss, and oftentimes struggle with complicated grief. The presentation will address common reactions to sudden loss and offer coping strategies.
