Empowering Grief

Life and Loss Grief events and workshops hosted by Empower New Ways are for people dealing with grief and loss caused by the death of someone close to them, and for those who are supporting them. The death of someone we know is something we all face at some time in our life, and grief is a normal reaction to this loss.

Grief is usually a response that we don’t necessarily prepare for throughout our life. It appears suddenly and its sting is thrust upon us. It may make us feel like we have an inability to express ourselves, to know how to approach a person who is grieving, grief may make us feel overwhelmed emotionally and physically and leaves us barren with how to process loss and grief.

Disenfranchised Grief and Loss

Would you know if someone close to you had a significant loss? Most people would confidently reply “Yes!” We generally expect to recognise grief and loss of family and friends. However, many major losses and the grief that follows can remain hidden from others or unacknowledged.

Disenfranchised grief can happen in many ways. When A Relationship Is Not Recognised. Unrecognised relationships can include those with friends, neighbours, foster parents, work colleagues, step-relations, ex - spouses, unmarried partners or a secret love.

The grief experienced due to the death of a person in one of these relationships may be not seen as significant or be completely overlooked by other people.

When A Death Or Loss Is Not Regarded As Significant

Certain types of deaths – such as the death of a child, or family member, miscarriage, stillbirth, termination of a pregnancy, death or loss of a pet may be seen as less significant than other losses that may be seen as more “important” and the grief and loss that is felt may not be acknowledged or supported by others.

When grief occurs over a long period of time, such as for people who have a chronic illness, are addicted to drugs, or who have a disability or dementia, it may be assumed that grief will be less when death actually occurs. This is not so – the grief people experience can be just as intense.

Some apparently positive life stages, such as marriage, a child’s beginning of school, graduation, adult children leaving home and retirement, may not be recognised as causes of loss and grief because we view these events as “normal”, however as individuals we each have different experiences of loss.

What Are Empower New Ways Life Grief Events About?

Life Grief Workshops

These are paid for workshops usually held in Carrington, Atherton Tablelands, and from time-to-time Cairn’s locations. Our Life Grief workshops are intended to make the uncomfortable, comfortable. Dying, death, grief, loss and unchosen change can be topics not easily talked about or planned for between couples and families.

Different topics and workshop styles will be offered for everyone to dive into. From guest speakers on a range of topics on dying, death, grief and loss. Workshops to help you unpack expectations and social norms, prepare in the living sense for times of grief, deal and heal from grief.

Other paid for workshops available throughout the year are called The Art of Grief ®. Working through topics surrounding dying, death, grief and loss in partnership with talented, professional artists from different forms, styles of art and art therapy.

Sharing and Talking Grief, Loss and Unchosen Change.

Discover ways to enable the passage of grief in your life.

Western culture is seemingly one wanting to packed up grief and put it away as quickly as possible. We tend to want to see people “getting over it” with life returning to normal as quickly as possible.

We seem uncomfortable with people who have experienced death. Why is this? For most people it purely comes down to the fact that death, grief, loss is just not part of "normal life", until it is, and so we have not necessarily developed social norms around them.

Life Grief events encourage the sharing of how overwhelming and difficult grief, loss and death is to move through. Something others may find difficult to understand. We are allowed to speak our grief, express the experience of loss, grief and unchosen change knowing that others can appreciate where we are coming from. There are no judgements, there is no right or wrong. It is about being understood.
