ABOUT Comming Gatherings Topics
Recently, I’ve been reflecting on life and the importance of family, community, and living with intention. Life’s challenges often remind us of what truly matters. I’d love for us to share thoughts on resilience, connection, and the values that guide us.

Reading materials:
https://volunteer.alz.org/blogs/maggie- ... about-life
https://hospiceeastrand.co.za/2023/12/1 ... ut-living/

At the reading article 2, the author suggests that death is teaching us to:
01.Recognise that life is impermanent
02.Death teaches us to prioritise what matters
03.Death teaches us about gratitude
04.Death is also teaching us to embrace the present
05.Death teaches us about compassion and empathy
06.Death invites us to let go of fear

Discussion Questions for Session One:
1.The passage suggests that embracing death can help us live more positively. Do you agree? Why or why not?
2.One of the meditation lessons I learnt is to hold a thought of thaqt we may die today. How can reflecting on
our mortality inspire us to live a life with purpose and avoid regrets?
3.In what ways does death strengthen or deepen our relationships with others?
4.How might an awareness of life’s impermanence change the way we pursue our goals or define success?

Discussion Questions for Session Two:
5.What role does love play in helping us cope with loss, and how can we show more love to those around us in daily life?
6.What are small ways to support ourselves or others when facing loss?
7.What values or goals guide how you want to live? How does thinking about what matters most shape daily choices?
8.Are there any ways you can use to teach yourself or your beloved ones to let go of things?

Tue, Nov 19, 2024, 7:00 PM GMT+8(YOYO English Club) Coping with Grief and Loss (Host:Holly)
No. 25, Section 3, Jinan Rd, Da’an District
Today, I would like to discuss the topic of bereavement. I believe this is a difficult journey that many people have already faced or are currently going through.

I am currently going through this journey myself. Just over a month ago, I lost a very close family member. I miss her deeply, and whenever I think about having lost her physically, it fills me with sadness, and a sense of reluctance to let go. But at times, I also think of the joyful memories we shared—the moments when we truly cared for each other and loved each other.

Last Saturday, Christine also touched on a similar topic, which is why today I would like to discuss this subject with all of you—one that may be emotional, but is also important and, at times, even intriguing.

reading material :arrow: https://www.helpguide.org/mental-health ... f-and-loss

Whatever loss you’ve suffered, there’s no right or wrong way to grieve. But by understanding the types and stages of grief, you can find healthier ways to cope.

Session I

The article mentions 'The most common sources of grief.' What are some of the ones you've experienced?

Describe the journey of grief you have experienced. You may reflect on the "5 stages of grief" as a reference, but remember, each person's grieving process is personal.

Have you noticed any differences or similarities between the way you handle various forms of loss now and how you did when you were younger?

Session II
4. Let's return to the article and discuss disenfranchised grief. This is a very unique form of grief. What are your thoughts on it? If you notice someone around you who might be experiencing this, what would you want to do?

5.I really love this quote from the movie Interstellar: 'Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends time and space.' What do you think the relationship between love and loss is? The more we love someone or something, does it make the loss of that person or thing even harder to bear?"

When you reflect on past experiences of loss, or the loss you are currently going through, what do you think your future self, five years from now, would want to say to your present self?
