Walking with GriefWarning: there are elements of this course that you may find distressing as the material here is very current (August 2023). Remember though that although 'death' is in the title, so is 'grief and healing'. The purpose of this course is to help you grieve - to help you heal. Meditations are included together with areas for you to carry out your own investigations.Three detailed workbooks/journals are included plus numerous other resources.UPDATE: This course now includes a Handbook on Death, Grief and Healing.BACKGROUND TO THE COURSE.In the beginning there were five of us:Peter - InstructorChris - InstructorStephen - VideographerLeslie - Proof reader and overall advisorGrace - audioFive people designed this course: Chris, Stephen, Peter, Grace and Leslie. The course was launched in 2017. By then, sadly, Grace, Leslie and Peter had all passed away. Also Chris had had a stroke! So the original course - and all the many additions and updates - has within it plenty of grief and sadness!
