Newly Widowed: Help for the First Year of Widowhood

Understanding the Evolution of Children’s Grief

Parenting is hard enough when there were two of you but to find yourself a grieving solo parent of grieving children feels just about impossible!

How do we raise, support and care for our child(ren) after the death of their parent? Where do we find the words to help them navigate their grieve? How do we differentiate between normal childhood behaviour and behaviour of a grieving child? How do we help our children to not only survive this tragedy but to thrive and grow from it?

Half of Dark – Half of Light; One Widow’s Creative Journey

This workshop will create a safe environment using everyday art materials and the basics of colour theory to help express your individual journey and aid in identifying the back and forth emotions we all so commonly have. This is a fun hands on workshop – with no artistic skills required.

Based on her own life and using colour and creativity, Barbara will share her story of using art and colour to express the day to day emotions she found prevalent after experiencing a partner loss. Please join your fellow campers using art as a way to express our grief.

Traumatic Loss

It’s not about how your person died, it’s about the ongoing traumatic effect that death continues to have on your life.  Join Jodi as she expands your definitions of trauma and PTSD and how they impact on your brain and body, as well as tips and tricks to help your identify triggers and journey forward on your path to recovery.

From Nope to Hope

We have all experienced the immediate rejection of our widowed life. The objective is to have participants explore ways to mitigate the worst parts of their widowhood experience and to have people come away with the hope that they can find genuine happiness living a widowed life.

Widowed without Children

Being widowed is an isolating experience and can be further exacerbated by living in an empty home, all alone.  We will be discussing the unique challenges faced by widowed members of our community who do not have the gift of a living legacy of their loved one – children. This workshop is for you whether you were unable to have children with your person, or together with your partner made the choice not to add children to your family. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with other campers who share your experience of being widowed without children.

Selfcare through music and movement, basic line dancing

Dance both moves our bodies and frees our souls. In this workshop Allison will be providing basic moves and terminology for several ultra beginner line dances. While we learn to dance we will also be learning the importance of self-care and being introduced to great ways of including movement in our daily lives. Join us for a fun workshop that will provide you with dance skills you can use when you get home.
