Grief and Special Days: Maintaining, Adapting, and Releasing Traditions

At its core, grief is about change. A single event can trigger a multitude of changes and navigating these changes can take a toll. In this virtual event, we’ll screen the Speaking Grief documentary at 6:00pm ET then follow it up with a discussion at 7:00pm ET in which experts will share ideas on how to handle cherished traditions when your person isn’t there to share them.
