When death comes for someone with whom we share a physical as
well as emotional history and bond-a parent, child, sibling, spouse
or grandparent-the grief is intense, and the process of mourning
complex. This complexity often includes the felt experience of
the loved one's ongoing and felt presence in our lives, regardless
of any particular spiritual or religious orientation we might
or might not have. In this workshop, we will have an opportunity
to explore the various ways we know that the dead person lives
on-in dreams and visitations, in the ways we feel their presence,
in the synchronicities that occur, and through the conversations
we have, to name a few. This exploration can enrich and deepen
our relationship with the person who has died, and can powerfully
assist us in healing the wounds and completing the unfinished
business between us and our no-longer-embodied loved ones.
