The Staff Bereavement Journey
From 8 September, Chaplains will be running The Bereavement Journey, a six-week course, for any member of university staff or postgraduate student who would like to take some time to work through a bereavement in a safe, supported environment. Whether the bereavement is recent, or happened some time ago, all are welcome.
The course lasts 6 weeks and each session will run for 90 minutes, with an optional seventh week in which bereavement is explored from a faith perspective – otherwise, the course does not include any religious content. Each session uses videos, group discussion, and leaves time for personal reflection.
Topics covered include:
- attachment and separation
- the pain of grief
- grief and anger
- coping with changed identity
- signs of recovery
- finding the ‘new normal’
The course is for bereaved staff and postgraduate students to do their own grief work. Facilitated by University Chaplaincy staff, it is supported by a manual from The Bereavement Journey.
