TAPS Talks: Mourning Your Loss When the Whole World is Grieving
May 14, 2020, 2:00 PM-3:00 PM Eastern
In these challenging times, some people are feeling guilty because they may feel more consumed with the impact of the current situation than they are with their own grief. Others may be struggling even more because of isolation, given that the supports and distractions they relied upon may no longer be available. Join Patti Anewalt to discuss how grief may be exacerbated during this difficult time and how to ensure a focus on self-care and wellness while honoring one's grief.
This TAPS Talk is presented by the TAPS Institute for Hope and Healing®.
