Webinar: Loss and Loneliness at the Holidays - Finding a New Narrative
November 16, 2022, 12:00 PM-1:00 PM Eastern
This session will explore ways that solitude, whether real or imagined, can feel more acute over the holidays. We'll offer practical strategies blended with personal experiences, with an eye toward finding comfort, reframing the narrative, and realizing that choosing our own traditions also may mean exploring limiting beliefs about what life "should" look like.
This webinar is presented by the TAPS Institute for Hope and Healing®.
