Grief Is Rarely Straightforward
How to help your client find a path through grief and loss
When a client loses someone or something they hold most dear, there’s a good chance their life will never feel the same again.
Because you see, it’s not always just the loss itself that weighs heavily on a client. They may also grieve what their life could have been.
It’s part of what makes grief such a complex emotion for clients to navigate – and why practitioners often need to rethink (or expand upon) the traditional model of grief.
So to help you work with the multi-faceted dimensions of grief and loss, we brought together 25 of the world’s top experts.
They’ll share how you can help clients process a major loss, re-engage with life, and find a sense of purpose and meaning in their grief.

“These NICABM series keep me afloat, in touch, on track, well trained in my field, and more personally healthy. The best aspect, though, is that I feel validated and comforted knowing that some dare to go the extra journey to research and educate, so I can walk the path to health, and can share with others.”

Why the Transcript Is Essential:
- The transcript makes it easy to go back and double check concepts, citations and names that are mentioned
- We put in a table of contents to make it easy for you to find the exact part of the webinar you need
- Having the concepts already written allows you to take notes on how you’re going to use the ideas rather than transcribing the ideas
- Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching
- You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the session with your patients
“I really liked being able to follow along with the transcripts as I listened…it was nice not to feel like I had to take notes. I really feel like I remember more when I both hear and see at the same time.”
