Let's Talk About Grief
🗓 31 July 2021 (Sat)
⏰ 7 - 9PM (SGT)
📍Hosted on Zoom
Many people say or do things that (unintentionally) causes a person who is grieving to feel worse than before.
Many of us are at the stage in life where death still feels like a distant subject. But the reality is that one day, we will have an intimate encounter with grief. You may be in a position to comfort someone who has just lost a loved one or the grief may be your own.
What should you say or do? What are the things to avoid? These are some common questions that we seldom get to discuss.
Join Ling Yi, Seline, Calvin and Adalie, as they share their personal experiences with parental loss and the things that helped them in their grief journeys.
This webinar is a youth-led initiative that is free for all to join.
