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!

Grief and Compassion

Wednesday, January 27, 2027

We live in a world that can be intolerant of grieving individuals and the grief process itself. After the death of our loved ones, the expectation is often that we return to “life as usual” as quickly as possible. In this session of Grief Matters, we will examine the hurdles faced by those who grieve, peering through the lens of individual, family, and societal expectations as we endeavor to claim and offer ourselves compassion in the midst of grief.

Grief Matters: Picking Up the Pieces
March 31, 2027

Picking Up The Pieces

Wednesday, March 31, 2027

What do you do with the pieces of a favorite dish or cherished antique when it has broken? Rather than discard an item because it is damaged and seems no longer valuable, the ancient Japanese Art of Kintsugi repairs these broken pieces. Meaning “golden joinery,” Kintsugi encourages us to embrace and honor the damage as a beautiful, valuable part of an item’s history. This is a powerful metaphor for the experience of healing. Please join us for an evening of grief education, support, and therapeutic art. Participants will take home their own Kintsugi piece at the end of the event.
