Register at: CEU4U - "In Your Face"

It is reported that one in three losses (from death) involve sudden or unexpected loss. Though anticipated or expected loss can be just as painful, there are some distinct differences from sudden loss. What are those differences and how do they effect people’s reactions and ability to cope?

The aftermath of sudden loss, also known as complicated mourning, hits millions of individuals and can have both short and long term effects upon the individual, family and society. Sudden loss can increase existing physical, emotional and mental distress or be the catalyst for newfound anxiety, stress, depression, intrusive images, addiction and abuse.

There are as many ways to adjust to sudden loss as there are individuals who experience it. Some people shut off their feelings and "numb out" with obsessive behavior and others become so overwhelmed with shock, emotion and change, that it is difficult for them to function or cope.

This course provides personal and professional information, reflection and time-tested tools for healthy ways to cope and adjust to life after sudden and/or violent loss. You will learn how to differentiate between grief from sudden and anticipated death and the corresponding reactions; the many factors that effect our reactions to sudden loss; how to normalize and validate those feelings and reactions; and tools’ you can provide for healthy grieving and ongoing connection with the deceased.
