GRIEF IS A VERB SERIES
GRIEF READING GROUP
Monthly Reading Group for Therapists
Inevitably, death will take a seat in our practice. For some of us, we will feel called to become Griefwalkers.
This monthly group is a space for therapists to engage deeply with grief through reading, discussion, and reflective practice.
We’ll draw from memoirs, clinical writing, and a range of theories and approaches to loss, using these materials as a springboard for conversation and exploration. The first books I’ve chosen to start our exploration with getting to know death are: Absolutely Delicious: A Chronicle of Extraordinary Dying, Were You Close? (sibling loss), The Year of Magical Thinking, It’s OK That You’re Not OK, and Motherless Daughters.
ABOUT KIMBERLEY
Therapist | Supervisor | Educator
Kimberley is a graduate of St. Edward's University and a grief and trauma therapist in south Austin. She was a therapist for 4 years at Austin's Center for Grief and Loss as well as a support group facilitator working with both adults and children who had suffered a death. While there, she and a colleague who worked at hospice discussed the difficulties and heaviness of grief work with adults. From this seed, she created Morbid Curiosity: A Game About Death.
Kimberley has attended Order of the Good Death national events, local Death Cafés, suicide prevention conferences and workshops, grief group facilitation training, and a variety of unique and sometimes quirky death-focused events. She offers workshops, lectures, and consultation about death, working with grief, and sitting with our mortality.
