Course Fee: $97.00 CAD
Updated: December 2024
Prior to entering this field I really struggled to know what to say to someone in my life who was grieving an illness or a death. This was true in both my personal life and later my professional life as a nurse. There were times when I was so afraid of saying the wrong thing that I just didn't say anything at all. It wasn't that I didn't want to say something - I was just so worried about saying the wrong thing and making things worse as a result.
Now as a grief therapist, I recall this every time a client who is grieving shares with me that people in their life haven't shown up for them in the way that they would hope - either not acknowledged their grief, or maybe even avoiding them all together.
I've designed this course to include all of the information that I wish someone had shared with me much earlier in my life. In it, I've included information and practical strategies that can be used immediately to support someone who is grieving, even when you don't know what to say.

A reminder that grief is healthy and natural
I know all too well that that many grieving adults also have kids in their world who are grieving too. And knowing what to say and how to support grieving young people can be incredibly challenging. I work hard in my therapy practice and my personal life to ensure that children and youth have access to skilled grief support. As a result, in addition to this Grief Support Course which is tailored to supporting adults, I'm including an additional package of courses at no additional cost to provide you with strategies for supporting any of the kids in your world who are also grieving.
