Grief is a universal experience, yet so many myths and misconceptions surround it. It can be isolating, confusing, and deeply personal, but it’s also something we don’t have to navigate alone. This workshop takes an educational approach to debunk common grief myths while creating space for personal reflection. What to expect: We’ll open our time together with a bit of grounding breathwork, and a guided meditation to help us sense where we may be storing emotions in our bodies. Then, we’ll settle in as Clinical Psychologist Heidi Rodenberger, Psy.D., explores common grief myths and coping strategies: Understanding Grief: Moving beyond common beliefs —what grief really looks like in different situations. Debunking Grief Myths: Why “just give it time” and “stay busy” may not be the best advice. Healthy vs. Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms: Practical self-care strategies to navigate loss. Please bring a journal. After Dr. Heidi’s talk, we’ll take time to reflect and write about how grief myths have shaped our experiences and how we can use this insight to support our well-being. We’ll close with a brief group discussion for those who wish to share—participation is always optional! This gathering is a judgment-free, open-hearted space for learning, sharing, and finding connection in the realities of grief. Whether you’re actively grieving, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the topic, you are welcome here. We look forward to seeing you! Questions?
