Description

When loss shatters your life, "rebuilding" can feel impossible—especially if it means leaving your person behind. But what if you don't have to "get over" your grief to move forward? I'll cover what rebuilding after loss really means, and how to carry your grief with you into a life that still holds peace, purpose, and joy.

You'll learn:

  • What rebuilding after loss actually looks and feels like

  • Why the phrase "get over it" often causes more harm than healing

  • A new way to think about grief as a lifelong companion

  • How to rebuild your life without erasing the past
