Description

“There is no meaning in dying in a pandemic.” I’ve heard this from so many people over the last two years. And they’re right. And the meaning isn’t in the “why.” The meaning is in us and what we do after…and today making meaning in the wake of loss is more important than ever before. In this incredibly moving session, you’ll watch David Kessler, the world’s foremost expert on grief and loss, as he shows you how your clients can go beyond acceptance and find ways to replace painful memories with meaningful connections and move toward personal growth. We’ve all lost so much, but by making meaning we can stop feeling like we need to move on and start feeling like we can move forward.
