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.

- 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.”
