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.
