Aid in Grieving and Loss

Good Grief organization (The Erika Whitmore Godwin Foundation) is a nonprofit entity that helps individuals who have lost loved ones to learn how to incorporate loss in their life and find a new relationship with the lost soul. It was founded in 2004 by Susan Whitmore and a group of other volunteers who discovered that grieving children lacked enough advocacies. It is a haven that utilizes grief and loss groups, counseling, meditations, and interviews to help people feel better amid loss. The support groups expose grievers to the idea that they are not alone in their loss by providing a strong support system that they can relate to. Incorporation of meditations helps in the realization that changes in the brain reduce anxiety, depression, confusion, and increase the concentration in the quest for serenity. Good grief organization stood out because it focuses on all individuals regardless of age, although it began as an organization for grieving parents. Additionally, the organization tools are set to acknowledge that one does not get over the loss but instead learns how to live without someone's physical presence. The fact that the founder has a history of loss in their life is also ideal since they have the compassion to help others overcome. 

While teaching an older person with no computer knowledge about the organization, I would deliver the information in simple sentences, in a low tone, and at a slower rate. To cater to the fact that older persons are less proficient and to help the person appreciate the need for the facts and quality of life restoration even after a loss. Step by step, I would guide them through the valuable facts about how to get assistance and the need for support groups whose members can even become long term friends. An older person must be treated as an individual who can learn and change based on the absorption of new information. By taking the time and delivering information in small increments, the person would eventually understand.
