Parenting While Grieving

Online Workshop Series

FREE 8-Week Workshop Series

Parenting While Grieving:
Supporting a Child Grieving the Death of a Parent

During these interactive online meetings, participants will discuss:
• the impact of the loss on children
• developmental reactions to the grief process
• strategies for dealing with the challenges of parenting while grieving

 

We will practice the essential parenting skills of listening, expressing,
problem-solving, and setting limits within the context of a grieving family.
This 8-week series is offered free of charge, with space limited to the first
10 registrants. Participants must reside in Montgomery County, MD, and
will be better served by this workshop when they are at least a few
months past the initial loss. The workshop series will be facilitated online
by CaringMatters' trained staff.

​

Registration deadline is Monday, February 23, 2026.
 

The 8-week series is offered free of charge, but space is limited. Participants are expected to commit to attend all eight 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."
