Free Self-Paced Online Grief Course

Navigating the rivers of grief

A four week, online, self-directed journey through your grief as you learn to ride the waves, stay grounded as they pass, and find your unique way forward. Free for everyone. 

“When we accompany you on your journey, we are with you from a place of deep connection, empathy and personal understanding, as well as our professional experience.”

Grief touches all of us, but we rarely talk about how to be with it and move through it. This course offers guidance to understand more about what you are feeling and experiencing, to help you find your unique way forward, with and through your grief.

This includes videos, meditations, interactive learning modules, integration activities, journaling and reflections.

The Journey of Grief

Grief isn’t something we can ‘get over’ or ‘go around’; it’s something that we move through, which is why it’s helpful to think of it as a journey.

Throughout the course, we learn to walk alongside the river of our unique experience of grief and loss.

Our river sometimes swells after a heavy rain pour, and then returns to a slow flow. Sometimes it has many curves and currents, and then straightens up, continuing its flow downhill, steady and calm.

Whatever our river looks and feels like, we can either resist and struggle against it, or we can choose to flow with it… to walk alongside it.

We have a choice, we always do.

Join our community

Grief can make us feel utterly alone and overwhelmed. We’re better together! 

By joining us in this course, we hope you will feel the deep, quiet companionship of the world’s community of grievers, as well as the empathy, warmth and support of the whole team at the Edmonton Healing Centre.

It is our aim that you will find more self compassion, forgiveness and gratitude, as well as an expanded ability to feel and express the kaleidoscope of feelings that often accompany grief.

You will become more aware and conscious of who you are and the gifts you have to give.

The bond with your loved one will likely strengthen, allowing you to feel them with you as you live your life.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the course?

The course is structured as a four week journey. You will receive immediate access to the Welcome section when you sign up, you will then receive access to Week 1 12-24 hours later, and all subsequent modules will be unlocked/sent to you weekly.

Although the course is structured as a four week journey, everyone is different and you may find that you need more time for each week. You can take as long as you like, remembering you have 12 months access to all course elements from the time you sign up.
This course is self-directed, meaning there are no live calls or community elements. All videos are pre-recorded and other course elements are automated. This allows you to navigate your own unique grief journey in your own time, in your own space and at your own pace.
We will support you in any way we can. At any point, you are welcome to email us at info@jfse.org and we will answer your questions about the course and/or your personal grief journey. Depending on your location, we may or may not be able to offer you individual counselling and we may redirect you to local resources available to you.
Before signing up for the course, please review the section on this page entitled ‘This course is/isn’t right for you if…’ Being a fully online, self-directed course, it won’t be the right fit for everyone and it’s up to you to decide if it’s what you need in this moment. No refunds will be offered for change of mind, so please make sure you are ready and willing to do the work of grief in this way.
