Breanne Cook - Building a Grief Toolkit

A practical workshop for navigating life alongside grief

Saturday 3 October, 8:30–12:30 — £59

Grief can affect every part of life. It can leave us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected, and unsure what helps. While grief cannot be fixed or removed, there are ways to support ourselves through difficult moments and build resources that help us carry what has happened.

This three-hour workshop is designed to help you create your own personalised grief toolkit. Together, we will explore practical, emotional, social, and meaningful sources of support that can help you navigate grief in everyday life.

Through a combination of grief education, coaching exercises, reflection, discussion, journalling, and mindful photography, you will identify what already supports you, discover new possibilities, and create a plan you can return to when grief feels particularly difficult.

We will explore

Why grief affects us in different ways at different times
Common challenges and triggers in grief
What helps us cope when grief feels overwhelming
Physical, emotional, social, and spiritual sources of support
Ways of maintaining connection with the person who has died
Meaning, purpose, and sources of strength
How to create a personalised grief toolkit for difficult days

This workshop is suitable for anyone who is grieving and feels ready to explore practical ways of supporting themselves. Whether your loss was recent or many years ago, you are welcome.

You will leave with

A personalised grief toolkit
Practical strategies for difficult days
Greater understanding of your own grief
Reflection exercises to continue using after the workshop
New ideas for supporting yourself with compassion and intention

This is an educational and coaching-based workshop rather than a therapy or counselling group. There will be opportunities for reflection and discussion, but no expectation to share personal details unless you wish to.

This workshop can be 1:1 or in a group.
