TAPS Talks: Who Am I Now?
April 6, 2020, 2:00 PM-3:00 PM Eastern
Often times a secondary loss after the death of a loved one is the loss of ourselves and the identity we have formerly known. In these challenging times, these questions may be even more acute.
Presented by the TAPS Institute for Hope and Healing®, this TAPS Talk with Erin Jacobson, shares some tools for self-discovery as a way to examine how to reclaim our identities.
