  • 04/15/2025
  • 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM

A special presentation for Hospice Professionals, Clergy, Therapists/Counselors, Volunteers, Companions, Death Doulas, Death Care Professionals, including Funeral Directors, Leadership and Administrative Professionals, Law Enforcement, First Responders, and Victim’s Advocates.

If something is unmentionable, it can also be unmanageable (folk wisdom). Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced (Baldwin)

When losses occur, words are sought…sometimes found…sometimes offered. Drawing on bibliotherapeutic and narrative therapy principles, perspectives and tools for narrative power will be presented, demonstrated and discussed. Narrative is not about having people tell their stories. Narrative is interested in power – who has the power to speak stories into existence. Voices of grievers and the bereft , thereby, are heard and validated.

Using metaphor and related prompts, participants will be invited to consider using stories as prompts for words that foster grieving and healing.
