Grief & Change: Our Six-week Grief Series

Grief and Change

What we lose. What we needed. How we live.

Loss can change our relationships, our health, our sense of ourselves and the future we expected. Sometimes we are living with the absence of something we needed but never had.

Grief and Change is a six-week online group program offering structured learning, guided reflection and opportunities for discussion. Together, we explore how absence and loss affect different parts of life, and identify practical sources of support.

Six weekly sessions · 60 minutes per session · Up to 20 participants

$55 CAD per session. $330 CAD for the six-week program, plus applicable tax.

Who this program is for

This program may be relevant if you are navigating:

  • The death of someone important to you.

  • Separation, divorce, estrangement or changes within your family.

  • Chronic illness, disability or changes in physical capacity.

  • Changes in work, caregiving responsibilities or professional identity.

  • Addiction and recovery within your family or relationships.

  • Disappointment, interrupted plans or a future that has become uncertain.

  • The effects of harm, betrayal or circumstances that challenged your sense of fairness and safety.

  • The absence of care, belonging, protection or opportunity you needed.

You may have one clear loss in mind, or several experiences that are difficult to separate. You do not need a diagnosis or a recent bereavement to recognize yourself in these conversations.

How it works

Choose a group that meets at a time you can attend each week. You will remain with that cohort for the six-week program.

Sessions take place live on Zoom and include teaching, individual reflection and facilitated discussion. Opportunities to contribute are offered without requiring you to disclose personal experiences.

  • Length: Six consecutive weeks.

  • Session duration: 60 minutes.

  • Group size: Maximum 20 participants.

  • Location: Online.

  • Price: $330 CAD for the complete series, equivalent to $55 per session, plus applicable tax.

This is an educational and supportive group program. It does not provide individual assessment, diagnosis, trauma processing or emergency care. If you need a different level of support, contact us before registering to discuss whether the format is suitable.

What we will explore

Each week focuses on one of six domains. These offer different ways to understand your circumstances, including how difficulties in one area can affect another.

Dates and registration

Choose a time you can attend for all six weeks.

Our November–December 2026 program offers weekday, evening and weekend groups. Each cohort meets on the same day and at the same time each week.

Review all six dates before completing your registration. Times are shown in the booking system; check the displayed time zone carefully.

Your registration reserves one place in your selected cohort for the complete program. After booking, you will receive confirmation, session dates and instructions for joining online.

Questions

  • No. The program addresses bereavement alongside other experiences of absence, loss and change, including changes in health, relationships, identity and future plans.

  • You may choose how much personal information you share. Listening and private reflection are ways to participate. Detailed disclosure is not required.

  • The program is designed as a six-week sequence with the same group. Please choose a cohort whose full schedule you can attend.

  • Contact us if you expect to miss a session. Before registering, review the attendance policy for information about missed sessions, materials and any available alternatives.

  • Participants are expected to respect one another’s privacy and follow the group participation agreement. Join from a private location where possible and use headphones if others could overhear.

    Confidentiality in a group cannot be guaranteed because facilitators cannot control what other participants do outside sessions. The privacy notice and participation agreement explain how information is handled and the limits that apply.

  • Please contact us before booking to discuss access requirements, including captioning, communication preferences, breaks or material formats. We will discuss what can be provided and any limitations before you commit.

  • Registration is for a structured educational and supportive group program. Individual counselling or psychotherapy, where available, requires a separate service arrangement with an appropriately qualified provider.

  • Please read the cancellation and refund policy before paying.
