Aren’t You Over This Yet: Bereavement, Recovery and Expectations of Others
-
Online - Zoom
Seminar 1 in the Embrace Grief with Hope seminar series
One of the most difficult experiences for bereaved individuals is dealing with the expectations of grief. Sometimes, well-meaning friends offer unhelpful comments like, “Wow, it’s been so long; aren’t you over this yet?” As bereaved people, we often wonder if we are, in fact, not doing this right. This workshop will offer helpful guidance about reasonable expectations for grief “recovery,” both to bereaved people and those who care for them.
Children's Ministry Course 2
Online
This certificate program is comprised of 3 independent courses rooted in biblical teachings and child development and one Intercultural Competency course. Through lecturing, hands-on activities and small group projects, students will be introduced to the mission/vision of Children’s Ministry, practical application and creative approaches for responding to the spiritual needs of children and families in this fast-paced world. Jointly offered by the Tyndale Intercultural Ministries (TIM) Centre and Blessing4CM Consulting Ministry!
Grief Support Group
Online - Zoom
Our support groups are led by warm and compassionate facilitators, ready to companion you in your grief. It is a confidential safe space where you can (or not) share your feelings on the journey of integrating your loss. Being in a group setting you are reminded that “you are not alone” and that there are people who identify with what you are going through. We walk this journey together.

Introduction to Death and Dying (Module 1)

Online - Zoom
This module will be an exploration of the various attitudes towards death and an examination of the reactions to loss as expressed through grief. Death and dying can present an opportunity for personal and spiritual growth as we explore our losses and share our grief. In order to do this, we need to consider the ten essential factors to help the healing process to occur.

Contemporary Understandings of Grief: an Update on the Latest Thinking About Loss

Online - Zoom
Seminar 2 in the Embrace Grief with Hope seminar series
In this workshop, we make the latest research findings intensely practical and fill the entire experience with challenging cases and ideas for positive interventions with bereaved people. Though bereavement is, to be sure, some science and some art, this workshop addresses the emerging challenges to make sense of all the noise about such things as grief stages, pro longed grief disorder, and complicated mourning.
