Grief Therapy - In Person: Making Sense of the Fog: Grief & The Brain

Facilitated by Breland Counselling & Consulting

When profound loss enters our story, it affects not just our hearts, but our physiology. This session explores the neurological responses to trauma and grief. By understanding the physical "fog" of grief, participants can externalize these responses—viewing them as natural reactions rather than personal failings—and discover gentle, grounding ways to navigate their daily lives.

Virtual Session: Healthy Grieving

Facilitated by Dalyce Mah - BSW, RSW, MSW

Perinatal or child loss can be one of the most profound and life-altering experiences a parent can face. Grief is a natural, individual process with no set timeline. While the pain cannot be erased, healthy coping strategies can provide support, reduce isolation, and promote long-term healing. This group focuses on holistic ways of coping to help parents move alongside grief in their daily life, with emphasis on both mind and body. Participants will learn gentle somatic techniques for regulating the nervous system, and explore meaningful ways of honoring their loss. We will explore flexible coping strategies including mindfulness, self check-ins, and inviting support from others when needed, that foster resilience and support long-term and support long term adjustment in the grieving process.
