Facing and Feeling Grief Through Mindful Awareness
Rebecca Wing, LCPC
On-demand recorded session
Experiencing loss can leave us feeling aimless, confused and heartbroken — to the point where it becomes difficult to focus on our daily needs. But it’s possible to learn to face grief by allowing ourselves to feel it instead of turning away. Mindfulness practice helps us explore how grief shows up in our lives and experiment with letting it go when our focus needs to be elsewhere. We will strengthen the ability to make room for difficult feelings, without becoming consumed by them.
Rebecca Wing is a licensed clinical professional counselor. She co-founded the Mindfulness Retreat Center of Maine with her husband Terry Fralich.
