Companioning Through Grief and Loss with Joe and Louise Colletti

This program is designed to provide participants with an overview of the grief and loss journey and the dynamics of companioning those who have experienced a loss. The focus of the day will be based on a contemporary approach to the grieving experience and its implications relative to companioning interactions.

A combination of individual inquiry and reflection, an in-depth review of fundamental differences between grief and mourning, sharing of personal experiences and challenges, and an overview of the techniques and invitations will be utilized to companion others through their journey of grief and loss.

Whether you’re a spiritual director, chaplain, pastor, social worker, professional caregiver, healthcare worker or volunteer, this program will empower you to companion others through their journey of grief with empathy and understanding.
