Life Reconstructed: a widowed way forward

Join me on November 16th for my Thanksgiving planning workshop.

We’re going to get very practical. We’ll talk about what you want the day to look like, how you want your person included, how to navigate family members who may be grieving differently than you are, and exactly what you can say when someone asks an intrusive question or makes an awkward comment.

We’ll also talk about what Thanksgiving can look like if you’ll be spending the day alone.

You’ll leave with a plan for Thanksgiving that takes your wants, needs, energy, and grief into account.
