Death, Divorce, Disaster, Downsizing, or any of the reasons we Mourn
Next Class Starting January 2023
Grieving with FOCUS Live Workshop
"I couldn't get out of bed every day if I lost my child. How do you do it?" This was the most asked question we received as we navigated our grief.
No matter what is the underlying cause of your pain—death, divorce, disaster, or downsizing, just to name a few—when grief takes hold, it's difficult to know how to get through the darkness. This workshop, through 5 online live sessions, will detail strategies that worked for me and my family as we mourned and moved through the unexpected and tragic loss of our 17-year old son. I think these strategies will work for you, too!
We'll go through the 5 FOCUS strategies in 5 1-hour long live ZOOM meetings, unpacking each one with in-depth exploration and concluding with actionable steps. In addition, you will be able to submit questions that will be answered at the subsequent session. A workbook with notes and space for your reflections and discoveries is included with the course.
The workshop meetings will take place on Tuesdays at noon (link provided each week) with replays available and access to all materials for a full year.

How do I know if Grieving with FOCUS is for me?
You may wonder if what you are experiencing is actually grief. Often, grief manifests in other ways—anxiety, withdrawal, depression, aggression, fear—with a root cause of pain from loss. Loss of life, community, job, relationship, home, finances, or church hurt, natural disaster, failure. Grieving with FOCUS will guide you through the grief process and prepare you to help yourself and others for Grief's inevitable entry into your world.
