Grief Workshops
Cornerstone of Hope offers routine grief workshops for anyone who would like to better understand grief and loss. Workshops vary in length and style between one day seminars and topical recurring series offerings.
Grief Matters is a monthly education workshop series designed to provide opportunities to explore and manage grief in new ways. Recognizing that the experience of grief is both unique and universal, Grief Matters offers additional support for those striving to learn, grow, connect, and heal.
Each month, a topic or activity is presented that may help improve wellness and coping through education, self-care, and emotional expression. Participants are encouraged to try new skills and incorporate them into their lives if appropriate for their personal grief journey. Please join us on the last Wednesday of each month for a different topic or activity … because your grief matters!
Journaling for Grief
Wednesday, April 30, 2025
Research shows that writing can be a helpful strategy to work through situations and struggles, including grief and loss. Participants in this session will learn more about the benefits of writing to explore different ways we can write to express our feelings, preserve memories of loved ones through expression, and discuss our experiences with others who are facing similar challenges in their grief. This session will include creative and journal-based writing prompts, discussion, and education about healthy coping skills. Supplies will be provided, but participants are welcome to bring their own journal as well.
Prayer Practices When You Grieve
Wednesday, May 28, 2025
When we grieve, prayers can sometimes seem dry and empty. We can feel distant from God, or uncertain how to pray. Please join us as we learn new prayer practices and new ways to connect with our Lord, including imaginative prayer, breath prayer, body prayer, and others. We look forward to praying with you!
Memory Box Making
Wednesday, June 25, 2025
Please join us for an evening of reflection and therapeutic art! Participants will have an opportunity to create their own memory box dedicated to their loved one. Magazines, stickers, and other supplies will be provided for individuals to collage and personalize their memory box. Participants may bring a few items to hold inside their memory box and share with others if they please. Containers will be provided, but participants are welcome to bring their own!
If you are grieving the loss of a loved one and are in need of support, we are here to serve.
