SUMMARY:The Unseen Grief: Recognizing & Healing from Secondary Loss Workshop
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nSaturday\, May 10th \n11 AM PT / 12 PM MT / 1 PM CT / 2 PM ET \nJoin us for an interactive workshop\, “The Unseen Grief: Recognizing and Healing from Secondary Loss\,” specifically designed for both individuals affected by myositis and their care partners. This collaborative session will delve into the often-overlooked aspects of grief experienced by those living with this condition\, focusing on the loss of identity\, capabilities\, and the life one once knew. \nDr. Romano will facilitate discussions to help participants\, both patients and care partners\, recognize the subtle yet significant losses that accompany myositis. He will provide valuable strategies and tools to navigate the associated emotional challenges\, fostering an environment of open dialogue and group exploration. \nAn engaging writing reflection activity will be included\, encouraging attendees to share their personal experiences and insights. Participants will have the opportunity to explore their feelings\, uncover paths to healing\, and connect with others who share similar journeys in a supportive atmosphere. \nEngage with Dr. Romano in this dynamic workshop as we collectively explore the intricate emotional landscape of secondary loss and discover pathways to healing. This is an invaluable opportunity for self-reflection\, connection\, and growth for both individuals affected by myositis and their care partners.
