Living After Loss (grief support)
Developmental Disability WA (DDWA) are hosting a Living After Loss (grief support) get together
Friday 16 February 2024
9:30 - 11:30am
In person only
The death of your adult (or younger) child with disability who you have cared for long-term is an isolating experience.
It often feels like friends don’t understand what you’re going through or how to best support you through the huge gap that’s now opened in your life.
At this get together, you may share and learn helpful strategies to lighten your loss. No matter how long ago - or recent - it has been since your loved one has passed away, the grief may be ongoing in cycles. Join us to sit, listen, share your story (or not) and know that we'll support each other.
Living After Loss is a casual, welcoming get-together to support yourself and others in grief and bereavement after losing someone you cared for who had disability.
DDWA's inaugural “Living After Loss” get-together was held late 2023. The rollercoaster of ongoing grief and heartfelt memories was shared around tissues, as well as loving laughter and warm cuppas.
It went so well that they are holding regular gatherings like this. All are welcome.
Darrin Brandis (psychologist) is experienced with grief and bereavement and will lead the discussion. You can share as much or as little as you like.
This is a free in-person session with morning tea provided.
