Why We Must Grieve to Heal
Honoring grief is something that we all need to learn to do better. Our culture makes very little room for grieving hearts; we hide, ignore and put on a frail mask of "I'm fine," but it isn’t working. In this session, listeners will see how they can benefit from grieving.
In This Session:
- Listeners will see how they have dealt with grief
- Listeners will examine the relationship they have with grief
- Listeners will see how being compassionate with themselves makes it easier to be kinder and and more compassionate humans
