This course will explore different types of losses, including
loss of a relationship, loss of a job, health-related losses, and
death from several theoretical frameworks. We will discuss
different ways of coping with loss, how people cope with
loss across different cultures, how the brain processes loss,
and several other special topics. These include ambiguous
loss, continuing bonds, meaningful reconstruction, and
the stages of grief. The goal of this course is to help you
navigate loss in your own life and to gain tools to provide
support for other people experiencing different types of
losses.
