Abstract
Effective classroom teaching, and learning about grief and mourning must involve both didactic instruction and the group dynamics of personal involvement. An appreciation of the individuality of the grieving experience must be incorporated into the broader understanding of grief in its generic aspects. In this paper such an approach is described and illustrated with verbatim excerpts from an exercise conducted with eighty participants in a workshop on helping the bereaved.Keywords
