Whether you are struggling with your own grief or walking with a grieving friend or family member, you know the journey is not smooth or straightforward. This course is simple but not simplistic. It is profound but not professional. Most importantly, it describes the pathway through grieving that can be found only through honesty, and is a crucial experience for anyone grieving for any reason.
