Grief Counseling Groups for Adolescents Based on Re-Membering Practices
Granados, Stephanie; Winslade, John; De Witt, Megan; Hedtke, Lorraine
Journal of School Counseling, v7 n34 2009
Focusing on "re-membering" practices is new to grief counseling. Traditional approaches to grief counseling are guided by the concepts of stages or tasks, usually to move the person toward accepting the reality of loss and to "say goodbye" to their deceased loved one. This alternative approach to grief counseling, driven by social constructionism and the narrative perspective, works to keep dead loved ones close and their voices alive. Here the process of a grief counseling group for students at middle and high school levels based on these principles is outlined along with some preliminary responses from participants.
