Death, Grief and Caring |
|
Instructor: Pick Conner Phone: 770-836-4590 email: pconner@westga.edu |
Description: The primary function of this course is to
encourage, support, and stimulate learning--about suffering, loss, and grief;
about dying and death. It starts with
the assumption that what we think we know about death is probably not knowledge
at all, but belief, and that belief is based on something other than our own
experience. Part of the course is
devoted to unlearning what we thought we knew about suffering and death, in
order to learn from our own individual experiences. This course explores the psychological (emotional) and
sociological aspects of death in our society and in our individual lives.
Course: GERY 6204

Description: This course provides a framework for recognizing
and understanding the losses that occur in the students lives and the grief

and will likely occur in her/his life, and will learn healthy, functional ways
of coping with grief. It is expected
and intended that the student will also learn to use her/his personal learning
to help others to cope with their grief in a healthy, functional manner.
