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.

Hi @Shaz51 - yes we deal with all types of grief and loss. I'd love to talk more about living losses a little later - its really pleasing that more and more people in the community understand grief is so much bigger than bereavement only.

Grief can be something we feel over a long time @Owlunar Those moments you talk about are so true. I'm hoping to learn more from your experience about how you cope with those moments

@Owlunar A year isnt long - and there have been other lossess along the way so never really the 'time' to deal with any of it.

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

I'm glad you are here tonight @Zoe7

I remember you lost a friend last year - a person who you had known for a long time

It takes a long time when someone has gone forever - it really causes a lot of pain - I was totally unprepared for that kind of loss
