Most of us are great in the beginning stages of loss:
step 1: write a card
step 2: attend the funeral
step 3: drop off a hot dish (Midwest-speak for casserole)
But grief is a chronic condition, and the people we care about need support in the long-term. And when you’re afraid of doing or saying the wrong thing, it’s easier to do... nothing.
This e-course is designed to help anyone struggling with how to support a grieving person. It includes a combination of audio lessons led by Nora McInerny and psychologist Dr. Anna Roth, plus a downloadable workbook filled with actionable steps and handouts.
Get started now!
This course will help you:
- understand the physiological, emotional and psychological effects of grief on the person you care about -- and on yourself
- establish and maintain constructive ways to communicate with and support your griever
- identify your own reflexive pity responses and shift toward empathetic and compassionate communication and actions
