I thought I understood grief really well and boy was I wrong. Honestly, I didn't think that I'd learn anything new here, but you have really got me thinking and I realise that I really didn't know much about grief and loss. Thank you for your incredible teaching and for gently showing me my blind spots! I enjoyed every bit of all four levels.

"I highly recommend anyone who would like to become more informed in grief and loss to visit the Shapes of Grief website, listen to the podcast or sign up for the education programme. There is such a wealth of information on a broad range of topics and Shapes of Grief has enabled me to be so much more grief informed. Liz has a warm, compassionate way of presenting the work and her skill as a therapist shines through. The amount of knowledge I’ve gained through the Shapes of Grief education programme has been fantastic and being a trainee counsellor, this has been an essential additional resource to the basic information we have been given in colleges. Anyone interested in the field of grief and loss, whether because of a personal bereavement, working with grief and loss in any way, or involved in the field of counselling and psychotherapy would really benefit from exploring Shapes of Grief and what it has to offer. I would highly recommend."

"Shapes of Grief, the online grief training program, is put together by Liz Gleeson with a lot of thought and passion. The topics are selected and organized in a way that offers a holistic understanding of grief. The content of the lectures and discussions is also based on personal experiences and clinical practice, making it very relevant if you are grieving or working with grief. I am a psychotherapist with experience in grief, and I highly recommend this course."anks so much again.

‘The Shapes of Grief course is honestly more than just a worthwhile CPD experience in my opinion. The quality of the content, the depth of the topics covered, the wealth of material and the emotional integrity at the centre of all of the modules - it is a course that has deepened my knowledge of grief and the grieving process. As a professional therapist, I am grateful that this course exists. There are many CPD courses that skim the surface of their topic. This course explores in-depth, the many many shapes of grief that we all may face professionally and personally. It does so in an academically strong way and it is also very easy watch the content as it is so relatable. I have recommended it to many colleagues and will continue to do so.’

Liz’s Grief Session with our company was informative and practical, helping us to manage all aspects of grief in the workplace. Liz guided us through welcoming staff members back to work after a significant loss & supporting the team on how to approach the difficult subject. Some key takeaways from our group were the Do’s and Don’ts that Liz provided when speaking to someone going through a significant loss in their life.
These tips were not only helpful in the workplace, but also a great guide on how to navigate the difficult topic in day-to-day life. As a result of our session with Liz, we are a more grief literate company. Thanks Liz!

Hi Liz, I am so sorry for the Friday evening email, but I couldn’t let tonight pass by without thanking you a million times for last night. The resounding response this morning, the conversations in the staffroom with those who were at your talk, but also those who were not there but were listening to our experience of your talk, was amazing. Also….. the stories that emerged this morning of grief from staff members who have never spoken before… we just spoke and talked and wow, the topic used to scare me a little and I honestly feel so much more readying in facing it, but also so aware of how much more I have to and want to learn.
Have a lovely weekend Liz and honestly, thanks so much again.
