Grief: The Reaction to Loss

Very thorough!

Loved this course.  Work with elderly clients and this will be very helpful.

Excellent course and very relevant to my work as a Home Care OT.

I thought this was an excellent course to assist clients through the grieving process. 

I really enjoy your courses.... I live in an isolated area so being able to learn about relevant topics at home is invaluable to me. This was a really under-discussed topic, in my opinion... as if everyone just "knows" how to deal with grief.  Thank you for such a thoughtful offering. Some of the ideas were new to me... some were not, but nonetheless, gave me the opportunity to revisit my own assumptions and strategies. Love your company! Thank you!

Good course. I have been doing grief work for 8 years now and still learned new information and helpful practice methods.

Another effective and satisfying experience with PDR CE courses.  Thank you!

A great read, especially for those of us who work with older adults! There were a lot of helpful tips as well as how we can take care of ourselves as clinicians doing this difficult work.

I selected this course for the grief of losing my own son this year. I now have some information for my own need and for use in the clinical setting.

I felt this was a comprehensive introduction to grief/loss.  Provided excellent, basic, common-sense information combined with practical methods of assistance.  I enjoyed it.

Very in-depth. More than I expected. Highly recommend!

The course exhibited a great blend of research data and practical application to empower anyone living through grief. It was well thought out and presented.

This was well done. It was concise yet extremely comphrehensive.

This is an excellent program. Well written.

Since I live in a senior residential community I have ample opportunities to converse with grieving persons - not in a counseling setting, but a person-to-person, friend-to-friend conversation.  This course reminded me of various parameters of helpful vs non-helpful ways of responding.

I recommend this course to all clinicians who work with older adults, and clients with life-threatening conditions.  Especially helpful is the clinician self-care for compassion fatigue.

Terrific course.  Highly informative and clearly presented.  Examples are illuminating.  Recommendations are understandable, practical, and feasible to implement in any setting.  This should be required reading for everyone -- health care processionals, patients, and lay people -- since loss is something that everyone will encounter.

I have been a counselor since 1993.  I have had many seminars and read many books about grief, but this is the most helpful in defining grief and ways to help.  Now that I am retired, I am doing volunteer work in a variety of settings including working with an Alzheimer's group.  I wish PDR would create a companion workbook for this course.  I believe it would be extremely helpful for working with people experiencing grief.

This was an interesting course.  Working through the grief proccess is so important for those who have experienced a loss.

Great course. I loved the information about what to expect for the normal aging process.

This course was extremely informative and relative to me. Personally, I am very interested in this topic and appreciate your offering it. Really good! Thank you.

Nice work on the course--organized well.

Great information. Very thorough!

A good course with lots of practical information.

Very good information which is useful when working with the older population.

Good information. Even as a long term psychologist it was helpful to be reminded of compassion fatigue!

A good and thorough discussion about aging and normalization of processes.

Interesting course. I had trouble starting, but then read some parts as I just learned a friend since high school died. In the end, I could see how factors discussed had played out in her/our situation as well. I liked some of the quotes the author included.

Very easy to understand course with good suggestions at helping those dealing with grief/loss as well as keeping yourself mentally healthy while working in this situation.

The program contained important information and was well written. Great course.

The course was well organized, easy to complete, and contained a lot of very useful clinical information.

I'd like to thank you for offering this specific CEU. It not only helped to educate me regarding my own grieving process, but I feel more confident in being able to help my clients who are struggling with grief as well.

This way a very positive learning experience. I plan to take advantage of further learning opportunities. By the way, I had a bit of difficulty signing in...your help staff were excellent in providing the support that I needed.

I'm very glad I chose this course as it gives excellent tips and resources to not only help with my own complicated grief but assists with talking to others (re: more frequent deaths, retirements & severe illness within family & friends as everyone around me ages). I was glad to see Hospice promoted as a help to the family as well as the patient. When my spouse passed after five weeks on hospice care in 2006, I've been a huge advocate since more often than not the referral for it comes last minute so most of the benefit is not experienced by patient or family. I often say, Hospice is like Tofu! It has a bad reputation that is not deserved and both require some better marketing techniques! Thank you for the excellent information.

Helpful refresher! Thank you!

Thank you for this course it certainly was an asset for me in working with my clients in dealing with their grief.

Very good course, especially some of the details and practical suggestions for intervention.

Nice course. Well organized and presented.

I like that the course discussed the dealing of grief and care givers and the clinicians' self-care needs.

Very grateful for this course -- in my small, individual practice I currently have patients in each form of grief described in this training.  Incredibly helpful -- thank you for making me a more knowledgable and competent practitioner.

I really appreciate these short courses which can be completed in small increments of type, instead of other Continuing Education companies which offer courses that take days or weeks. Thank you!

 I really enjoyed the course. I highly recommend this course for professionals new to the geriatric field of care and new to Hospice care.

The course's systematic teaching style helped in receiving an overall perspective of the grieving process, from start to finish.

This was very well-written and included more information than I expected. I appreciate all of the stages of life and dying were covered. Very helpful for me personally as well as in my practice. I will recommend this course to colleagues!

This was a great course to review grief and learn some techniques and strategies to help clients.

Outstanding material. Very helpful to my practice.

Being one of a large population of Baby Boomers, I am drawn to courses such as Grief and the Reaction to Loss...both for myself and my clients who are grieving many losses in their lives. This is an excellent course for Grief education and for processing one's own grief reactions, as well as for identifying strategies of care for therapy clients.

Well written and easy to follow. Very good course.
