Each lecture is to last one month. The lecture includes ideas to explore, strategies to try and websites to visit. Throughout students are requested to consider the contents of the lecture being discussed and then post their responses in the Q/A section. This is a course where you are indeed encouraged to 'talk about grief'. The opening lecture deals with the Instructor talking about his grief when three people helping to create a course about Death, Grief and Healing...all died before the course was completed.
