The Three Facets of Coping with Grief Speaker John Hughes In this public presentation, Hughes, will focus on the three facets of coping with grief due to death. These facets include the triage phase, ceremonial self-care, and a mindfulness-based approach to healing. He asserts that our culture is grief-phobic, and this makes coping problematic; thus, requiring skillful self-awareness. However, individuals can develop the strength to cope with their sorrow. He will offer experiential learning and many anecdotes from his work among the grieving.
