Grief support of the families of sudden deaths and the MH370 missing passengers is best provided by counselors, relatives and friends as a community. This is a non-religious teaching seminar to educate concerned parties on how to support these grieving family members. By attending the seminar themselves, the family members will also benefit in learning how to manage their own grief and those of their children in a more helpful and healthy manner.
Speaker: Dr Edmund Ng
Edmund Ng is a professional grief therapist with USA certification in Thanatology. In 2007, he and his present wife founded GGP Outreach (www.ggpoutreach.com), a community-based non-fee paying grief support service for those who have lost their loved ones. As a couple, Edmund and Pauline have ministered to a large number of bereaved persons with all kinds of losses, through support groups and individual therapy. Both Edmund and Pauline have experienced first-hand the deep pain of suddenly losing their respective spouses. Edmund has trained groups of counsellors, psychologists and social workers in the Philippines on grief recovery and resilience building work for families with loved ones killed or missing during the Typhoon Haiyan disaster. He also serves as President of NACC Malaysia.
Topics include helping the family members to overcome their present denial, process and ventilate their emotions, live with the tension and strain of the loss of their loved ones, even if they do not know the whys and whereabouts, make progress in their grieving process, and move on in life, if applicable, with an acceptance of the ambiguity of their deaths.
