Loss & Grief
1.0 Step Up & Take Charge
To build HOPE, an elder will provide a lived experience (story) based on truths of this program. With HOPE set, the facilitator and participants will build TRUST by introducing themselves and what they hope to achieve at the end of the program. Next the facilitator will handout workbooks an provide an overview of each module within the program. The facilitator will provide a high-level overview of the other two programs to build HOPE is what is to follow and cover fundamentals covered in detail by these programs.
2.0 Managing Trauma
The purpose of this module is to encourage acknowledging and expressing grief rather than suppressing it. In this module the object of our existing grief is identified. This can be due to neglect, verbal or physical abuse or through loosing a loved one. Participants also self-assess if emotions of depression or hatred has been allowed to run riot in their lives. Sadness is a natural part of life, giving permission to feel without judgment.
3.0 Managing Addiction
This module create intentional moments to honour the loss and reflect on its meaning. Set aside space for grief as a deliberate act, separate from daily demands. Activities in this module is to design a personal memorial (e.g., lighting a candle, planting a tree); writing a letter to the person or thing lost; and meditation on memories, focusing on both pain and gratitude.
4.0 Managing Anger
In this module focus shifts toward rebuilding strength and well-being over time. It points to the gradual process of recovery, recognising that healing follows its own season. Activities includes a daily self-care checklist (sleep, nutrition, movement); mindfulness practices to ground oneself in the present; and connecting with a support group or trusted friend.
