Other Notes:

In the aftermath of the death of a close loved one or family member, society would have the bereaved “let go” and “move on”. This is incredibly unhelpful advice and not what should happen after the loss.

I believe we draw closer to our lost loved ones after their death and continue to have a relationship with them – though in a different format. The challenge then is to reframe our relationship with the deceased.

We need to create a pen-picture of our lost loved ones, so we can carry this in our hearts as we continue our life’s journey; and Remembering & Reminiscing is an essential part of the grief experience.

This requires remembering and reminiscing about them; looking back on our times with them; talking about them with others; and being able to honour and celebrate their lives and achievements.

This creative, imaginative and thought-provoking course is designed to offer the bereaved (and those supporting the bereaved) the principles of Remembering & Reminiscing, how to reframe relationships with the deceased, and a host of craft-based mediums through which one can undertake meaningful remembering and reminiscing.
