Every adult has experienced a variety of losses, yet many people don’t understand what happens to them in the aftermath, what is considered “normal grief,” or how to manage their experiences.

Lopez Island Hospice and Home Support is sponsoring an event called “Grief: What Helps When it Hurts” on Friday, April 24, from 6-7 p.m. at the Lopez Library, which promises to be helpful to people who are experiencing loss as well as those who want to help.

This is a webcast video from Hospice Foundation Of America, featuring experts Dr. Kenneth Doka and Dr. Dale Larson, designed to teach the public about grief and grieving. It explores how grief affects people physically, emotionally and spiritually, and it offers practical tips on how to cope with loss.
