Moving Through Grief with Grace and Dignity

Al Sargent’s discovery and development of a natural grief process allows for the full experience of appropriate emotions, while regaining a healthy balance in living life. We are all equipped to process loss naturally, and it’s important to identify what cultural or family beliefs may create a roadblock. We will discuss how to move beyond fear and denial in coping with serious loss such as death of a loved one or loss of a dream.

The traditionally accepted model for grief can leave a person looping through anger and depression while waiting for ‘time’ to heal. Time may deaden the emotions from trauma—it does not bring peace and resolution! You will learn to recognize how a loss event has affected you in body, mind, and spirit; then to identify what elements or qualities are important to restore your life. This is done through the step by step process of Introspective Questioning.

Identifying your true inner essence and being proactive from this perspective are the key factors in coming to the point of understanding that signals the end of the grief process. Participants will benefit from eliciting any “thought viruses” that could negatively affect their ability to be proactive.

The model for how to create and maintain multiple connections that bring a joy and strength for facing life’s challenges will be an integral part of this workshop.

The intention is for each participant to gain an understanding of the  elements of this process for their own personal healing and to have the tools to help others.
