Introduction to Death, Dying and Grief (Module 1 of 6)

This module will explore the various attitudes towards death and examine 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. To do this, we need to consider the ten essential factors that support the healing process.

Please note: the Certificate Modules can be taken in any order, but ideally, this would be the first module taken, if possible.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the different reactions to death.
  • Explore the different tasks faced by the dying.
  • Understand the phases of grief.
  • Learn practical steps to work through the stages of grief that will bring healing.
