Attend 'Who Am I?' grief workshop Oct. 14 in Largo
Learn how grief can change one's identity and earn CEUs
Many people who have experienced profound loss describe themselves as forever changed, adapting to a “new normal” in their lives. They confront an essential question in the wake of their loss, “Who am I now?”
Chesapeake Life Center will offer insight into this aspect of the grieving process in a seminar offered by Chesapeake Life Center. The class will take place from 9 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Friday, Oct. 12, at Hospice of the Chesapeake’s Prince George’s office, 9500 Medical Center Drive, Suite 250, Largo, Maryland.
“Who Am I Now?” will explore the many ways bereaved adults confront change in the way of their being and seeing the world post-loss, and how we as professionals might best facilitate an exploration of new life directions which benefits their adaptation and growth.
