SUMMARY:Grief Conference
DESCRIPTION:SUPPORT 7 ~ SERVING FIRST RESPONDERS AND NEIGHBORS IN TRAUMA SINCE 1981 For Immediate Release DATE: Nov. 6\, 2026 FR: Shannon Sessions\, Support 7 Executive Director and First Responder Chaplain Cell: 425-478-6524 RE: 5th Annual Grief Conference in Lynnwood: The Sorrow and Loneliness of Sudden and Traumatic Loss. Grief following a sudden or traumatic loss can be uniquely painful\, often bringing not only profound sorrow but also shock\, unanswered questions\, traumatic memories\, and a deep sense of loneliness. The Grief Companioning Project\, in partnership with Support 7\, invites the community to its 5th Annual Grief Conference on Thursday\, Nov. 12\, 2026\, in Lynnwood. This year's theme\, "Sudden and Traumatic Loss: The Sorrow and the Loneliness\," will explore the unique challenges of traumatic grief and how individuals\, professionals\, and communities can better support those who are hurting. Unlike many grief conferences\, this annual gathering specifically focuses on the experiences of people impacted by sudden and traumatic death. The conference brings together highly regarded speakers with extensive experience and diverse perspectives in psychiatry\, traumatic grief\, pastoral care\, and grief support. (More details about our speakers in the registration link below) Participants will also hear personal reflections from survivors who have attended our grief support groups. The conference is designed for anyone who has experienced a traumatic loss or works with grief in the community ~ first responders\, chaplains\, counselors\, pastors\, grief professionals\, caregivers\, and community members who want to better understand grief and gain practical tools to support themselves or someone they love. "Sudden and traumatic loss can leave people feeling profoundly alone. We believe no one should have to walk through that experience without understanding\, compassion\, and support\," said Cindi Sinnema\, Executive Director of The Grief Companioning Project. The Grief Companioning Project and Support 7 partner each year to make this valuable educational and community resource accessible at a very low cost.
