Anxiety and Fear in Grief
Experiencing the death of a loved one due to substance use makes us confront the fragility of life. Such an experience fundamentally changes many of us. Some of these changes feel empowering as we grow around our grief, but others may be more challenging. One of the more challenging experiences that some grieving individuals face is newfound anxiety or amplified anxiety. We may feel anxious about our own health and wellbeing or that of others we care about. We may experience anxiety over what others will think of us or how we will continue to move through life following such a devastating experience.
This workshop does not diagnose anxiety or give medical/therapeutic advice. Rather, it features a discussion where we touch on some of the reasons why anxiety comes up during the grief experience and what we can do about it. This workshop aims to normalize this experience and to provide attendees and viewers with evidence-based, non-medical coping strategies.
