Cornerstone of Hope, Ohio’s leading nonprofit grief center, presents this year’s National Symposium on Traumatic Loss and Grief Support to practitioners, researchers, educators, clinicians, students, and thought leaders to share information around these important topics.
The impact of traumatic loss and grief can be overwhelming and long-lasting. This Symposium aims to provide attendees with the latest research and innovative approaches to support those who are struggling with these issues. This two-day event will be a valuable resource for anyone who works in the fields of mental health, healthcare, bereavement, social work, counseling, education, or ministry.
This year’s theme is “Making Meaning From Loss” with 12 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) offered to counselors, social workers, funeral directors, marriage and family therapists, and nurses.
Bonus CEU Opportunity:
Participants are also invited to stop by Cornerstone of Hope’s main campus in Independence, Ohio on October 3, 2025, between 4:00–6:00 P.M. for a brief presentation, a guided tour of our facility, and the opportunity to take home one additional CEU.

Grief Attacks: What They Are, What They Mean, and What to Do about Them

Significant holidays, anniversaries and unanticipated reminders of loss often trigger sudden and intense upsurges of grief, leaving mourners hurting and overwhelmed as they attempt to survive the present and move toward an uncertain future without their loved one. But despite their frequency, little is actually known about such grief attacks, in terms of what they are, why they occur, and how we can best manage them, while also attempting to make a place for those we have loved and lost as a physical presence in our lives.
