You are warmly welcome to join us at the Imagination Club on Wednesday, 26 February 2014 at 18h45 for an interactive, experimental workshop on:

The Myths of Grief

By Luisa Mannu

Isn't grief the natural emotional reaction to a loss of any kind - death of a loved one, divorce, break up of a romantic relationship, loss of a job, unmet expectations, moving, to name but a few?

Aren't myth stories usually about gods, supernatural heroes and humans?

What's the link between grief and myths? Is it about the ancient famous Greek myths? What have Zeus, Venus, Apollo, Poseidon to do with grief?

Join this interactive workshop and you will be surprised by the myths we have been taught about dealing with grief!

You may also realize that you can be ill prepared to help others dealing with a loss.

• Have you been experiencing a loss of any kind or are you still struggling for a past loss that hurts?

• Do you know a loved one who's fighting against a terminal disease and you are living with anticipatory grief?

• Do you know someone who's grieving and you don't know how to help him/her?

In this workshop we will review what the latest research on grief says about the accuracy of the most widely held myths about grieving.

We will work together and distinguish between myths and truths about grief.

Have you ever asked yourself any of the following questions?

• What can I do to help myself in grieving well? Which are the good rules?

• What are the good and not so good things to do and to say to a grieving person?

• What are the things to AVOID saying to a grieving person?

If you are not sure about the answers to these questions, this workshop is for you!
