This free webinar is for you if you're grieving a sudden, shocking, or life-altering loss—or if your grief has stirred up old wounds and trauma you thought were behind you. It's also for anyone who feels stuck in shock, numbness, or emotional overwhelm after loss, even if that loss happened years ago. And if you're a therapist, caregiver, or someone supporting a grieving person and want to better understand how trauma and grief intertwine, you're welcome here too.
