Event Navigation
Join us virtually for the first of four sessions in our Mental Health series in 2026.
Dr. Daniel Burow, clinical director, Sailor Health will lead this workshop to offer older adults a supportive space to explore the experience of grief and loss.
Participants will learn how grief may show up emotionally, physically, and socially, and how it can change over time. The session will normalize grief as a natural part of life, highlight how losses in later life (e.g., loved ones, health, independence, identity) are often cumulative, and provide tools for coping and reconnecting with meaning and community. Through discussion, reflection, and practical strategies, participants will discover healthy ways to cope with loss, and live a full life.
Psychologist and author Dr. Daniel Burow is recognized as one of today’s preeminent voices on geriatric mental healthcare. He began his career as a Professor of Psychiatry at the University of South Dakota School of Medicine.
