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!
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!
Attached to Grief
Wednesday, July 30, 2025
How does attachment to a childhood caregiver impact our mourning of a loved one? Join us to learn more about the theory of attachment styles and how the patterns we develop during infancy foster our mourning reactions, daily integrations of our loss, and management of emotions throughout our grief experience. Our discussion will explore just what attachment is, how it impacts the here and how, and practical strategies for support.
Coping Skills Menu
Wednesday, August 28, 2025
Join us for an evening of education and reflection as we explore
grief coping skills. During this event, participants will be making a personalized “Coping Skills Menu” to outline a list of helpful tools to navigate their grieving journeys. We will explore different categories of coping skills, including their benefits and limitations, and select ones to add to your “menu” that might be most helpful in your daily routine. Engage in practicing select coping skills like Mindfulness and Emotional release, and learn from other grievers about what strategies have been most helpful for them!
Grief and Compassion
Wednesday, September 24, 2025
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.
If you are grieving the loss of a loved one and are in need of support, we are here to serve.
