Parenting While Grieving:
Supporting a Child Grieving the Death of a Parent
During these interactive online meetings, participants will explore:
• the impact of the loss on children
• developmental reactions to the grief process
• strategies for dealing with the challenges of parenting while grieving
The workshops will include the practice of essential parenting skills, such as listening, expressing, problem-solving, and setting limits within the context of a grieving family.
​
The series will be facilitated online by CaringMatters' trained staff on Wednesday evenings, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm, with the first session scheduled for October 4, 2023.
Registration deadline is Monday, September 25, 2023.
The series is offered free of charge, but space is limited. Participants are expected to commit to attend all seven sessions, as each week's theme builds on the next week's theme.

Responses from workshop participants on what they learned and used with their children:
-
On a couple of occasions already, I've reminded myself to pause before reacting to parenting challenges, stepping back a bit to consider more broadly the situation and my daughter's responses.
-
I have learned to get my children more engaged in the decision-making progress.
-
It has been very helpful to know that my children's behavior and moods are likely a normal part of the grieving process.
