V08-SA Vortrag 30.07.2016 10:10-11:10 am ‘Curative change’ Growth within Grief and Transmutation of Trauma: This paper draws on four principal sources: psychotherapists working with survivors of torture or Holocaust survivors; Jewish insights into comforting the bereaved and sitting shivah; formal and informal practices within TCF UK; and personal friendship with hundreds of bereaved parents within and outside TCF. Major themes will include: Healing and hope through peer group support – ‘making a family of strangers’; TCF as informal group therapy; the importance of friendship, food and accompaniment in comforting grief, overcoming death-imposed solitude and reducing PTSD; the value of talking therapies; the partial restoration of death-fractured home through hospitality; the healing nature of empathy – curative change through transforming other lives: “a broken heart can achieve miracles of love”.
