This workshop focuses on the complexities of the grief process when parents experience a miscarriage or stillbirth. These types of deaths can lead to “Inhibited mourning” which is a syndrome of “Complicated mourning.” The grief responses to these types of loss are often misunderstood and misdiagnosed. This seminar will provide awareness and understanding of the dynamics in grief reactions.
