Grief after suicide is not like any other loss. The trauma of how a loved one died can deeply influence the grieving process. This webinar will provide insights into how traumatic loss shapes grief, highlight the physical and emotional impacts of grieving, and share practical ways to care for yourself through both trauma and grief.

The session will feature guest speaker Liz Gleeson, Psychotherapist specialising in Loss & Grief, Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapist, and Founder & Director of Shapes of Grief/Grief & Loss Training Hub.

The evening will include:

• A welcome from Fiona Tuomey, CEO of HUGG

• Presentation by Liz Gleeson on trauma and self-care

• Information about HUGG’s suicide bereavement support services

This event is particularly relevant for those bereaved by suicide or suspected suicide, as well as those supporting them — including volunteers, community workers, healthcare staff, funeral directors, chaplains, teachers, Gardaí, and others.
