Grief is ubiquitous. At some point in our lives, each of us will grieve, yet grief can be a taboo topic. During this presentation, participants will learn about why and how to teach about grief. The presentation will address important questions such as : Are the five stages of grief supported by research? What are normal patterns of grief? What is disenfranchised grief? Is prolonged grief a valid diagnostic category? How can materials from other disciplines (anthropology, sociology, literature, et al.) be incorporated to teach about grief? How can we address non-bereavement losses and grief (such as infertility, disability, and other major losses)? How can we address grief at an individual and a societal level? What can we do and say to help people who are grieving? What is legacy writing? What are strategies for successfully helping people learn about and navigate grief? Improving the availability and quality of grief education can reduce suffering and increase meaning in life. Participants will leave with ideas for how to teach about grief.
