Resource created for Professionals: A Jewish Guide for Professionals to Supporting Individuals Through Traumatic Death

Resource created for Individuals: A Jewish Guide to Supporting Individuals Through Traumatic Death

What can we possibly say to a person who is grieving a traumatic death? We know too many examples of such events in our own lives, from the shock of death by suicide, to the realities of death by natural disaster, to the horror of death by terrorism, and more. And yet, too often, we are stunned into our own silence, and moreso, into our own inaction, not knowing what to say or do in response to a traumatic death in our communities. 

Join The Blue Dove Foundation, and Shomer Collective, with the support of an UpStart collaboration grant, to learn about newly created resource guides to help bring language to the places where we too often say, “there are no words.” 

This professional training will include an overview of the resources and the sharing of individual and communal experiences, promoting the idea of talking about how to respond before we might be called on to do so following a traumatic death.
