Helping with Grief

Learn the techniques that make all the difference

October 7th, 2025
12 pm PT / 3 pm ET

Whether you’ve experienced your own deep loss or find yourself holding space for others, this conversation offers real, usable tools to meet grief with presence and care. We’ll explore what actually helps, what to say (and not say), and how to support without overstepping or burning out.

This session is for anyone who feels the pull to help — therapists, coaches, chaplains, community leaders, and everyday humans walking beside grief. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to begin.

In this free session, you’ll learn how to:

  • Support someone in grief without rushing to fix or make it better

  • Use grounded, real-world language that brings comfort, not clichés

  • Recognize the most common mistakes well-meaning helpers make (and how to avoid them)

  • Offer presence even when you feel unsure, emotional, or triggered yourself

  • Understand how grief and trauma show up differently and why it matters

  • Find your place in the grief support landscape, even if you're not a therapist

  • Begin integrating what you’ve lived through into meaningful, relational support for others
