Dr. Alan Wolfelt, the director of the Center for Loss and Life Transition at Fort Collins, Colorado and clinical thanatologist of international repu- tation discussed the common myths of grief and presented practical sug- gestions to help move toward heal- ing in personal grief experience. He explained that "The capacity to love requires the necessity to grieve when someone loved dies. You cannot heal unless you openly ex- press your grief. Denying your grief will only make it become more confusing and overwhelming. Embrace your grief and heal." "Your grief is unique. No one will grieve exactly the same way," he continued. "Allow yourself to speak from your heart, not just your head. Doing so doesn't mean you are losing control or going 'crazy'. It is a normal part of your grief journey " Earlier that same day, 165 people attended a seminar by Dr. Wolfelt specifically for clergy, health care professionals and educators. This workshop "Death, Grief and Mourning" was held at the Lucan Community Centre and participants heard the myths discussed from the perspective of a caregiver; the iden- tification of grief avoidance re- sponse patterns, the consequences and suggestions as to how they might encourage healing grief.
