New Year, Same Grief

Friday, January 9th 

Noon pacific/ 1 mountain/ 2 central/ 3 eastern

The Zoom webinar will be recorded and the replay link will be sent to those who register. 

This free webinar is for you if you've lost your spouse and...

• You hoped the New Year would feel lighter or different — but grief still feels heavy, raw, or overwhelming.

• You’re used to structure, productivity, and forward motion — but now you feel stuck, drained, or like grief has hijacked your focus and energy.

• You find yourself comparing where you are now to who you “should” be by this point — and feeling like you’re failing.

• You feel pressure (from yourself or others) to “get back to normal,” yet inside you know “normal” has changed forever.

• You’re ready to learn simple, practical tools to help you move past your mundane existence and take significant strides forward.

After this webinar you will:

• Understand why the New Year can feel heavier — especially after time has passed. Discover why grief doesn’t automatically fade with a new date, and why the “new year” can actually intensify feelings of loss. 

• Recognize and release unhelpful internal pressure and expectations.
  Learn how societal messages (“fresh start,” “new you,” “time heals”) can create unhelpful pressure — and how to reframe them with kindness, truth, and self-compassion.

• Gain practical tools that actually help. 
  Simple strategies for daily life: from shifting thought patterns, to creating small but meaningful rituals, to practicing self-care and honoring grief — in ways that feel doable and real.

• Create a practical, personal plan for the weeks/months ahead.
  Walk away with 1–3 simple, realistic actions tailored to your needs — things you can integrate immediately, that honor your energy, grief, and self.
