When Loss Becomes A
Way Of Life
Understanding Cumulative And Serial Grief in Older Adults


Older adults often experience multiple losses occurring simultaneously or in rapid succession, including the deaths of spouses, siblings, friends, pets, and community members, as well as losses related to health, mobility, independence, finances, and identity. This workshop examines cumulative grief and how repeated losses can alter coping abilities, increase vulnerability to depression and isolation, and complicate the mourning process.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • Differentiate acute grief, cumulative grief, and chronic grief in older adults.
  • Identify the psychological and physiological impact of serial losses involving relationships, health, independence, and identity.
  • Apply evidence-based therapeutic interventions for clients experiencing multiple concurrent losses.
