Calling all grief professionals and volunteers! Whatever your role in providing grief care for your organization, join us for this Grief Education Intensive. Whatever your level of grief training, come equip yourself and the services your organization provides with …
• Contemporary grief theories (far beyond the outdated, misused “Stages of Grief”);
• Practical, meaningful applications across the continuum of end-of-life care (yes, grief is underway long before the death occurs);
• Timely grief resonance, resourcefulness, and resilience (for yourself, your colleagues and volunteers, and the larger communities you serve).

Digital Mourning: Grief, Loss, and Connection in the Age of Technology In today’s connected world, grief no longer unfolds solely in private or physical spaces—it increasingly takes shape online. This presentation examines how social media and technology are transforming the ways individuals mourn, remember, and recover after the death of a loved one. From memorialized Facebook pages and livestreamed funerals to “griefTok” and AI-generated avatars, the digital landscape presents new rituals, risks, and relational complexities. Drawing on grief theory, clinical insight, and real-world examples, we will explore how digital platforms can both support healing and complicate mourning. Participants will reflect on the psychological impact of virtual grief communities, online memorials, and algorithmic memory triggers, and consider how clinicians can ethically and effectively support clients navigating loss in these evolving digital spaces. |
