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!
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.
Understanding Medication in the Context of Grief
Wednesday, October 29, 2025
For many individuals, medication can be a helpful tool to support their mental wellness. But what does this look like in the context of grief? Please join us as we welcome Becca Granger, CNP, whose aim for the evening is that you leave with new knowledge and understanding about medications to aid you in asking the right questions and getting the most benefit from your support plan.
