Description

Grief is more than a singular event; it's a journey of loss. These losses often permeate every facet of our lives. We recognize that loss extends its reach into the subtle corners of our existence, affecting our relationships, daily routines, and sense of self. In this session we will look at the impact of grief and loss in our lives and explore tools to support our system during the grieving process. This session will support the work you do with clients by offering skills to navigate grief and loss through mindfulness, nurturing self and connection.
