Grief is often linked to death, but many of life’s losses are quieter and less visible—changes in identity, shifting roles, unmet expectations, and transitions that leave lasting marks. Led jointly by a faculty researcher and a campus chaplain, this seminar explores grief as a shared human experience, drawing on research-based insights alongside reflective and compassionate practices. Participants will examine how grief shapes identity, relationships, and sense of purpose, while learning practical ways to navigate loss in their own lives. The session will also consider how individuals and communities can create space for grief in supportive, meaningful ways. Participants will leave with concrete tools for honoring loss, fostering resilience, and sustaining compassion and continuity through periods of change.
