Here’s what you’ll learn:
Creative Resilience: Visualizing Your Journey
Sometimes words aren’t enough. Through a guided creative prayer experience and gentle reflection, you’ll use simple drawing prompts to explore your grief journey in a new way. No artistic experience is necessary. All you’ll need is paper and something to write and draw with.
Creative Surrender: The Cross We Carry
Grief was never meant to be carried alone. Through a guided collage activity and prayerful reflection, you’ll create a meaningful cross that symbolizes the burdens you’ve been carrying and your invitation to place them into the hands of Christ. All you’ll need is cardstock or watercolor paper, patterned or colored paper, scissors, glue, a pen, and a gold marker.
Navigating Difficult Family Relationships
Grief can change family relationships in ways you never expected. In this talk, you’ll learn practical ways to communicate your needs, set healthy boundaries, and navigate difficult family situations while staying grounded in your faith and your grief.
Grief Triggers: What to do When Grief Hits You Out of Nowhere
A song, a smell, a holiday, a familiar place, or a date on the calendar can suddenly bring your grief rushing back. In this practical talk, you’ll learn why grief triggers happen, how to recognize your own triggers, and what you can actually do when they hit. You’ll leave with simple tools for preparing for difficult days, handling unexpected waves of grief, and making a plan for anniversaries and other significant dates.
Managing the Thoughts That Come With Grief
Grief comes with many challenging thoughts.
We’ll learn a practical tool that we can use again and again to help us stop the spinning thoughts, hold them up to the light of truth, and create more peace in our minds and hearts. You’ll want to have a pen or a pencil and a piece of paper.
Following the Example of Our Lady of Sorrows
Our Lady is such a beautiful example to us of suffering with hope. In this lesson, we’ll unpack her Seven Sorrows and relate them to our own experiences of loss to find in her someone who desires to connect with us through the shared experience of suffering. Then we’ll look at the way she shows us how to hold on to faith, hope, and love in the face of the intense pain of grief.
Let’s follow her example together.
