Healing
Your Grief from the Inside Out
Sept. 16, 23, 30 and October 7, 14, 21 6:30—8:00 p.m.
Room 0-850 Aspirus Wausau Hospital
A Learning and Support Series for
Grief, Loss and Transition
Pain becomes bearable when we are able to trust that it won’t last forever, not when we pretend it doesn’t exist. When someone loved dies, we are wounded on the inside as well as on the outside. The wounds may be invisible, but the scars run deep. In our six-week series, we will help you understand grief and deal with the symptoms that affect you physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. Join us beginning September 16, 2008 and find information that can validate your thoughts and help you face one of life’s greatest challenges. Find out why you are not crazy. Understand the surprises of grief and find healthy strategies to cope in a safe environment.

11th Annual Spring Conference
April 17 - 18
If You Really Loved Me, You’d Know Just How to
Help Me in My Grief
Invited Speaker: Alicia “Allie” Sims Franklin, LICSW, GMS, DAPA
A Community Seminar for Grieving Families
April 17, 2008, 7-9 p.m.
The Plaza Hotel and Suites, Wausau
Participants will learn how their coping and communication styles
affect their grief and can complicate grieving as a family. By
learning about these styles, we can break down the barriers of “If you
really loved me, you’d know how to help me through this” and create a
healing environment within relationships.
Coping with the Tornado Within
April 18, 2008, 9-Noon
The Plaza Hotel and Suites, Wausau
A Professional Seminar for Clergy, Hospice, and Others who Care for
the Bereaved. Few people recognize the role anger plays in the grief
reaction and often interpret this emotion as a negative response. Many
are unaware of the differences between chronic anger and grief-related
anger and merely want to “stop the behavior”. Because people may be
unaware of the unique aspects of grief-related anger, they may attempt
to treat it as chronic anger. When grief-related anger is ignored or
inappropriately diagnosed, grief remains unresolved and anger can
escalate into violence. Special attention will be focused on the
connections between unresolved grief and the increasing violence in
our society and how the lack of adequate coping skills and support can
lead to escalating violence among our children. |

Hospital
Understanding Grief Work—A class for seasoned
grievers who want to redefine life and purpose.
Society has dismissed your grief as “finished”; but you have
yet to reconcile with the final act of letting go. Lost in memories,
you may be struggling with holding on to “who” and “what” you once
loved. In this 4-week series, participants are guided through the
tasks of grief by evaluating the meaning of their loss, building new
identities, and making positive choices to heal
