COURSE BRIEF

Grief Therapy has become vital in today’s world. With its relentless pace and rate of change, the world says, without emotion, “Hurry up, you gotta catch up. Otherwise, you’ll be left behind”. So we push ourselves along life’s highways, always going faster. But we don’t know where we are going. And then we experience a slow down - the loss of someone close, a mother, aunt, brother, or friend. It could also be the end of a relationship or the parting of ways that foretells we have ended a phase in life and need to move on. And COVID-19 too. They all spell GRIEF - the absence of someone we love, the loss of job and predictability and then we bury it in ourselves. Handling grief is critical. We need to know how to handle it ourselves before we can help others as counsellors or therapists. What are some valuable theories? How do we approach grief, given that we will all experience it? What is there to learn? Am I open to change? Who should I turn to? Will I allow myself to feel the pain, or do I just numb it?
