PS-MAPP Class 3

Class Summary: Maturational and Situational Losses

Becoming a loss and grief expert 101 was the basic synopsis of class 3. We talked a lot about how we experience losses maturationally and they don't have the same negative effects that situational losses have because the gains outweigh the losses in almost all instances. We talked about how foster children grieve and what behaviors come along with that grieving process. We talked about how to aide in moving forward in the grieving process in a productive manner and how its important to recognize triggers in your own life. Grief and loss isn't something you're really forced to study much unless you choose to. Its interesting to examine what loss does and can do to us and how getting stuck in the grief cycle can be detrimental to our health. Its interesting that grief and loss is a human experience that is shared across continents, genders, races, religions and cultures.
