While grief is a natural process, it can feel disorienting and overpowering. In the words of Robert Lowell, grief is seeing and feeling “with one skin-layer missing.” When we grieve, we are not simply grieving the loss of someone or something meaningful, we are also grieving the loss of the narrative by which we have lived our lives. In this course, you will explore the work of grief, some spiritual and theological implications of this work, and what it means to offer trauma-informed grief care.
Part I: The Work of Grief: Old Theories and New Insights
