Learning Hub - Grief Courses for Self-Study

Grief in Common now offers online grief courses created for anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one. No matter who you lost, how it happened, or how long it is has been, these self study courses are appropriate for anyone who is grieving, and will address the unique challenges of loss with a wide variety of  topics.

Designed with a practical approach to grief, the goal of each session is to provide validation, education, and motivation, along with new insights, perspectives, and tools to promote true and tangible healing. 

Sessions include videos, articles, assignments and activities, and because there are no meetings to attend, it means you can complete the courses on your time, and at your pace. If further guidance or professional support is needed along the way, it's here and always available.

Some thoughts on the Learning Hub from members who have completed the self-study program:

"Thank you for putting your thoughts, knowledge, experience and ideas together.  I found this session to be very helpful simply by validating all of the things I have been feeling and thinking and wondering what was wrong with me."

 

"I love this independent study. I have gone to two separate grief counselors and I just didn’t feel like they understood what I was going through. This has been helping me so much."

"I cannot tell you how much this self study is helping me. Everything you are saying is spot on with how I am feeling or things I went through, such as anxiety and loneliness. I think there is a ton of misinformation about grief and people who really aren’t fully educated on how to help others. Your information has made me feel like everything I was feeling and am feeling was related to my grief and by working through it I feel like I am finally healing.  For the first time I feel like this is a temporary state that I can move through. Thank you!"

"I have really enjoyed the Second Year and Beyond.  I will continue to study and apply this program to my life.  The idea of validation of our feelings, thoughts etc. is so comforting."

 

"This is so powerful, thank you again for sharing your wisdom with us."

 

"This has truly been a transformative experience!"
