NACC 2023 Webinar Series
Honoring and Supporting Grief and Loss in the Lives of People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and their Families
For a long time, grief and loss in the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including autism, was essentially ignored and disenfranchised, often because of assumptions about levels of understanding or because the focus was on the grief of families. Yet they live in a world of relationships in which grief and loss are often ubiquitous. This webinar will address some of that history as well as rapidly growing resources for supporting grief and loss, including new initiatives focused on people with autism, their friends and families, caregivers, and professional helpers.

Listening and Responding to Concepts of God in the Context of Trauma and Grief
It is natural for patients to question the nature of God in the context of trauma and grief: “Why would God let this happen to me?” “Where is God when I am suffering?” “What kind of a God would allow these tragedies? Responding to these questions effectively not only requires understanding where the patient is coming from religiously and spiritually, but also on you as the Chaplain or caretaker. How does your religious formation, spirituality and personal experience inform your responses to someone’s whose background may be very different than your own? How might your response add to or alleviate the pain of the patient and their family members?
