The Bereavement Journey is for anyone who has been
bereaved at any time and in any way.
When: Wednesday, 10th April—Wednesday 22nd May, 2024 – 7:00 – 9:00 PM
Where: Sutton Bonington Baptist Church
Loss needs to be processed for our physical and mental health and wellbeing. Grief can also affect our attitudes, relationships and capacity to cope with the demands of life.
The Bereavement Journey® is a place to talk – 7 Sessions of films and discussion for anyone, whether grieving a recent death, or wanting to explore a bereavement from some time ago. The course is for bereaved adults, to help them to process their own grief. The Bereavement Journey can also benefit those in anticipatory grief, or who have experienced loss during pregnancy. It is supported by a guest manual and facilitated by volunteers.
Attendance is recommended for all the Sessions, although it is possible to join at Session 2. It is most beneficial to attend at least a few weeks after the death – ideally after the funeral, but this is not essential.
Topics include:
- Attachment, separation and loss
- The pain and responses of grief
- Anger and guilt
- Coping with others’ reactions
- Delayed and suppressed grief
- Adjusting to change
- Moving forward healthily
Faith is reserved for the final, 7th session on Faith Questions in Bereavement, which is optional, making the course suitable for anyone of any faith or none. The course is supported by all three village churches and will be jointly facilitated by a team from local churches.
Booking is essential. If you have further questions or wish to book your place, please email Karen Gray at info@sbbaptistchurch.org.uk or ring on 07443432493.
Cost is £5 per person, which will cover the cost of the Guest Manual.
