Ideal for any group struggling with child loss.

Child loss is lonely, heartbreaking, and horribly discouraging. Grieving families need their feelings and experiences validated and to be heard. Allowing them the space to learn and share can help families begin to feel more connected and less isolated which can lead to more peaceful moments.

This program will help participants:
*Identify where they are in the grief process
*Move forward without moving on, in a way that honours their child
*Acknowledge and honour their loss
*Find empathy and compassion for themselves and others
*Cope with the pain
*Feel connected to other parents
*Find strength to support themselves and their families

Sharing coupled with learning helps equip parents, siblings, and grandparents with coping mechanisms and strategies to continue on after losing a child.

When someone dies,or has just received a terrible diagnosis,it's hard to know what to say or how to best support them or their family.

Professionals of all kinds interact with clients who find themselves in this position, but many fear saying or doing the wrong thing. Some people handle this contact with grace and empathy and some miss the mark entirely, adding to the pain and frustration that accompanies these emotionally charged situations.

​Lisa offers an informative and educational presentation in which she shares the interactions that helped her family after her daughter's death and ways that professionals can most effectively support and assist families with the difficulty of losing a loved one or who have received equally heartbreaking news.

​The goal of this presentation is to give attendees the tools and skills to attend to a client who is struggling with the emotional challenges of grief. A secondary goal is to identify grief in your team and yourself as well.
