Webinar: Coping with Special Days—Finding Comfort in Remembering
April 27, 2021, 12:00 PM-1:00 PM Eastern
Spring can be filled with “special” days, whether it’s Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, upcoming graduations or weddings. For those who are grieving, these days can be difficult, as they can be painful reminders of those we have loved and lost. Join Patti Anewalt to discuss some techniques to help you cope with these days and explore creative ways to commemorate your loved one. The conversation will include ways to include young children and teens in these activities, as well as an acknowledgement of the additional challenges that have been brought about by the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This webinar is presented by the TAPS Institute for Hope and Healing®.
