Understanding Grief: An Educational Series

Grief touches every life—but it isn’t something we always feel comfortable talking about.

At Home in Alexandria invites you to join us for a three-part educational series exploring what grief is, how it impacts us, how grief can differ from person to person, and how we can better support ourselves and others through loss.

From understanding common myths about grief to exploring different experiences of loss, we’ll gain practical knowledge, tools, and perspective along the way. The series concludes with a Death Café, an open conversation about mortality and making the most of our finite lives, hosted by a clinical social worker.

You don’t have to be grieving to participate. Whether you’ve experienced a recent loss, want to better understand your own experiences with grief, or want to be there for someone you love, this series offers an opportunity to learn, reflect, and connect.

Three sessions. Honest conversations. A better understanding of grief.
