SUMMARY:The Landscape of Grief
DESCRIPTION:This heartfelt session explores the often-unspoken grief experienced by caregivers as they accompany a loved one through illness\, decline\, and death. From anticipatory grief to the quiet sorrow that lingers beyond loss\, caregivers carry a unique emotional burden that can be deeply isolating. Together\, we’ll create space to acknowledge and honour the evolving roles\, shifting identities\, and layered emotions that caregivers navigate. We will also reflect on how grief differs depending on the nature of the relationship\, whether with a parent\, spouse\, child\, or friend\, and how communities can better support those walking these paths. Through compassionate dialogue and shared insight\, this session invites connection\, validation\, and healing.  \nIn this webinar\, you will learn to:  \n\nRecognize and define anticipatory and cumulative grief as experienced by caregivers\, including how these forms of grief can manifest emotionally\, physically\, and relationally over time.  \nDifferentiate between the emotional landscapes of various types of loss (e.g.\, parent\, spouse\, child\, friend) and understand how each shapes the caregiver’s grief journey before and after death. \nIdentify supportive strategies and community practices that validate and hold space for caregiver grief\, while promoting resilience\, connection\, and healing throughout the caregiving and bereavement process.\n\nSpeaker bio:\nRenee Moor is a Buddhist psychotherapist\, certified death doula\, yoga and meditation teacher\, and Usui Reiki master. Her work is rooted in the belief that every individual deserves emotional\, spiritual\, and practical support at the end of life. Following the profound personal losses of both her father and husband within a 16-month span\, Renee was deeply moved by the gaps in care and companionship available during these transitions. In response\, she founded Journey Home for Empowered Living and Dying\, a registered charity based in Dundas\, Ontario. The organization provides compassionate\, community-based services including death doula support\, grief counselling\, public workshops\, and educational programming. Through advocacy and care\, Journey Home is committed to helping individuals and families navigate death and dying with dignity\, presence\, and peace\, creating space for meaningful and empowered end-of-life experiences.  \nRegister
