The Science Of Mourning

What Happens When Grief Doesn’t Go Away?

Groundbreaking new research on “complicated grief” – a disorder that afflicts 10 to 20 percent of bereaved persons – will be the hot topic at the Santa Cruz conference ‘When Grief Is Complicated’ presented by Hospice of Santa Cruz County in partnership with Hospice Foundation of America on June 6.

“Even in the best of circumstances and in the strongest of family relationships, grief can get complicated,” said Cindi Gray, Director of Grief Support at Hospice of Santa Cruz County. “This educational offering shows us some ways that we can understand that better. There are powerful vignettes offered to show us how the therapeutic process works.”

Anyone interested in the science of grief is welcome. Conference attendees will learn cutting edge therapeutic techniques to address complicated grief. Participants will learn how healing from Complicated Grief can involve “reconstructing stories of loss.”
