Grief Myths Mini-Series
Grief is such a complicated topic, made even trickier by our many misconceptions. The danger of believing grief myths is that they get in the way of healthy grieving and make us feel like crap!
So, I’m here to break down eleven myths that I guarantee are tripping you up. I’ll uncover the BS and serve up some truth about grief.
This self-paced mini-series has 13 modules, each including a short video from me, reflection questions, and a range of self-care practices. This course is perfect for new grievers, someone short on time, or to supplement existing grief therapy.
