Sometimes life crashes in on us like a rolling wave. We think we can handle almost anything, but suddenly something happens that knocks us down. We used to stand strong and manage our next steps but now find it hard to navigate the next hour. What happened?
Losing a loved one is painful. Life will never be the same. And if that wasn’t hard enough, the holidays are bearing down upon you—Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. This course will empower you to navigate the holidays by helping you create a proactive plan to care for yourself, honor the one you’re missing, and still love those around you. Holidays will be different now, but they can still be good.
Learners are required to have a copy of Surviving The Holidays Without You Navigating Grief During Special Seasons By Gary Roe.
