This Certificate in Bereavement & Loss programme is of interest to you if you are seeking further information on Loss and Bereavement either as a professional or as someone healing from loss or perhaps you are supporting someone who is grieving.

Real liberation comes not from glossing over or repressing painful states of feeling, but only from experiencing them to the full.

“What a sensational course this has been. A great introduction to online courses for me and some serious learnings, growth and development from it, thank you. Thank you for your wonderful support regarding feedback to my tasks and your kind words towards me as a person, they really impacted me on a wholesome level, especially the fact you have never actually met me and got the perception of me you did from my personal work alone. It has given me great confidence in my character and my ability to express myself.”
