Description

Making a major choice after loss can feel impossible. Grief scrambles your brain and makes every option feel like the wrong one. I'll share some grounded tools to help you weigh options, consider best- and worst-case scenarios, and make compassionate choices you can trust.

You'll learn:

  • Why "don't make any major decisions for at least a year after loss" isn't always realistic

  • Three practical ways to make big decisions while grieving

  • How to ease fear of regret and find clarity in the fog of loss
