Grief & The Stupid Things That People Say Workshop

Wednesday, November 22nd, 7:30pm ~ 9:00pm JST 

In this 90 minute workshop, we will unpack the "stupid" (i.e. hurtful, ignorant or tactless) things that people sometimes say to someone who is grieving. We will find ways to navigate these comments and care for our needs restoratively. We allow room for levity and joy to co-exist with the deep sorrow of grief. 

This workshop is appropriate for:

  • anyone grieving a loss 
  • anyone wanting to support someone who is grieving
  • anyone wanting to become more grief literate 

There are many kinds of losses including (but not limited to) the death of a loved one, job loss, pregnancy loss, change in relationship, death of a pet, illness, estrangement or anticipation of a loss. We tend to losses both recent or old, as well as unresolved grief and grief that has been passed down generationally. Your grief will be honored and validated here. 

What you'll get in the workshop:

  • Discussion Prompts
  • Time for Reflection
  • Group sharing, to the degree you want
  • Resources to use going forward
  • Supportive sense of community 

We are happy to share the content Resourcing and Taking Refuge from our Lighthouse Circle program that you can access as part of this workshop.

This workshop will be led by Sarah Furuya and Gretchen Miura of Lighthouse Circle grief support group. It will held online via zoom on Wednesday, November 22nd, 7:30pm ~ 9:00 pm JST / Japan.

Past participants loving words:

I wasn’t quite sure what it (Lighthouse Circle) was going to be, but I trusted them, and it turned out to be an incredibly meaningful experience.I would struggle to articulate all that I got out of it. But I can tell you that it felt gentle and powerful, sacred and magical. It gave me so much more to work with when it comes to grief.
