Topic Tuesday // Grief and Loss // Tues 3rd August, 7:00-8:30PM AEST

Hi SANE Community,

This fortnight we welcome Griefline as our special guests for a Topic Tuesday on Grief and Loss. Griefline support Australians experiencing grief, offering support through their helpline and online community.

Grief and Loss:

Grief is a natural response to the loss of something or someone important to us. At some point in our lives, every person will experience grief and loss in some way.

While we all experience loss and grief, the emotional and physical pain when we lose something or someone we love will be felt differently from person to person, and often from loss to loss.

This Topic Tuesday will hold space for us to discuss the grief and loss we have felt in our lives, how we have coped and what we can do to support a loved one who might be experiencing grief.

Please join us here on Tuesday the 3rd of August 2021 from 7:00pm-8:30pm AEST to follow this conversation.

Want to receive a reminder on the night? Hit the 'Support' button below.

_________________________

This topic is an important one for those who have experienced, might be experiencing or could experience loss. While each of us have different experiences of grief and loss, we want to make sure that this space is an open and respectful space to hold all of our experiences. Before joining this discussion, we would encourage you to familiarise yourself with the community guidelines so we can make this space as supportive as possible.

Welcome everyone to Topic Tuesday! Before we get started I want to acknowledge that for many people grief and loss can bring up big feelings. We have planned a discussion that we hope will talk about grief and loss, but also about coping with grief and supporting a loved one who may be grieving.

If at any time you feel distress, or want to speak to someone, please feel welcome to contact the SANE Helpcentre for support. For urgent help, please see our crisis support page for some services. Griefline is also available to support those living with the ongoing impact of grief and loss.

We also want to draw attention to the community guidelines before we get started. This is a space for us to hold space for every person's experience of grief and loss

With that in mind, let's get started 🙂 For those who are joining us tonight, please feel free to introduce yourself and what they are interested in hearing about tonight

I am going to pass to @amandaGL to introduce herself 🙂
