Conversations On Grief 

Grief, Guilt, and Self Forgiveness

Thursday, July 16th, 11am until noon

Feelings of guilt or regret are both common and often deeply powerful parts of the grieving process. They deserve acknowledgment and gentle exploration. Unfortunately, we can’t simply stop feeling guilty just because we—or someone else—tell us to. If only it were that simple. When navigating guilt and regret, it’s important to reflect honestly on both the emotions themselves and the underlying causes. Through practices like self-forgiveness and reflective writing, we can begin to accept these feelings, integrate them into our experience, and take meaningful steps forward on our healing journey.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to soften the grip of guilt and use it to reveal what you most value in the face of heartbreak.

Buckle Up: The Emotional Roller Coaster of Grieving

Thursday, August 20th, 11am until noon

Grief can feel like a roller coaster—unpredictable, overwhelming, and completely out of your control. Finding your way through such a difficult experience often involves adjusting expectations, developing healthy coping strategies, and learning how to navigate your grief with intention. It’s also important to recognize that the highs and lows of grief are both normal and necessary parts of healing.

Join us to explore what we understand about grief, how to find moments of choice within the process, and how to gently face the unexpected and challenging emotions that come along the way.

Stigmas, Myths and Misconceptions

Thursday, September 17th, 11am until noon

What are the stigmas, myths, and misconceptions surrounding grief? Which of these have you—or others—placed on your own grieving experience? And most importantly, are these beliefs truly helpful or compassionate? We believe that each person has the right to define their own grief experience. While grief is deeply personal, healing often happens through open, honest conversation in a safe and non-judgmental space.

In this webinar, we will explore the nature of grief, challenge common misconceptions, and create space for a more understanding and compassionate approach to the grieving process.
