SUMMARY:A Gathering for Friend-loss Grievers
DESCRIPTION:In this online gathering\, we will share stories and have a facilitated discussion about friend-loss grief. \nThe session will be hosted and facilitated by Hannah Rumsey\, the Founder and Director of Friends Missing Friends — a community dedicated to providing support and guidance for people grieving friends. \nFriend-loss grief is widely ignored and dismissed by our society. Harold Ivan Smith\, the author of Grieving the Death of a Friend\, said it best: “The distraught close friend of someone who dies has virtually no legitimate\, public grief and mourning channels.” \nBecause of that\, friend-loss grievers have very few avenues to openly talk about their grief. In this discussion\, we are free to talk about it: the depth of our sadness\, the fears\, the anxieties\, the doubts\, the jealousies. Everything we are normally too scared to say. \nLet’s honor our friends\, make connections\, and have meaningful conversation.

SUMMARY:You're going to this event Grief & The Holidays - Self Care Workshop and Sound Healing Experience
DESCRIPTION:The holidays can bring up all kinds of emotions — especially grief.\nIt’s not only the grief that follows the death of someone we love\, but also the quiet ache that comes with the loss of a pet\, the end of a relationship\, a career shift\, or a dream that has changed. This season can stir up memories and tenderness in ways that are hard to name. \nJoin us as we come together to pause\, breathe\, and care for ourselves in community. Grief Coach Wendy Kessler will guide a compassionate conversation on tending to grief during the holidays\, followed by a restorative sound healing journey with Brent Honnerlaw. \nTake this evening to slow down\, honor what’s stirring within you\, and remember that you’re not alone in your grief—or your healing. Coming together in community is a gentle way to remember that we are all grieving something\, each in our own way. Together\, we can find comfort in shared stories\, quiet reflection\, and the simple act of being present with one another. \nDoors open at 5:45\, please plan to arrive early.\nQuestions? hello@dodeathdifferent.com

SUMMARY:The Good Death Book Club Experience FREE 12-Month Death and Dying Course
DESCRIPTION:According to a recent AARP study\, there are over 52 million caregivers in the United States right now—and 70% of them say they are overwhelmed. Every single day\, I receive messages from current and former caregivers who say:\n“I wish I had this knowledge when I was caring for my loved one.”\nOr:\n“The Doulagivers training is helping me more than I can say.” \nThe truth is:\nWe will all have a caregiving story. \nLet’s make sure yours is one filled with support\, empowerment\, and peace. \nThat’s why I created The GOOD DEATH BOOK CLUB Experience: Death and Dying Course—a free\, live\, 12-month educational journey through my bestselling book The Good Death: A Guide for Supporting Your Loved One Through the End of Life. \nWhat It Is:\nEach month\, we explore one chapter of The Good Death together. \nYou’ll receive:\n-A live End of life teaching course with me\, Suzanne B. O’Brien\, RN\n-A guided workbook and downloadable companion guide\n-A group discussion and experiential exercise\n-A full 12 month Death and Dying Course for free \nWho It’s For: \n-Current and future caregivers ( all of us )\n-Death Doulas\, aspiring Death Doulas\, medical professionals\n-Individuals seeking grief healing and emotional support\n-Anyone who wants spiritual inspiration and empowerment around death\, aging\, and life itself \nWhy It Matters:\nDeath is 100% guaranteed—and yet\, our modern culture has stripped away the education and sacredness that used to surround it. \nThis lack of awareness is contributing to unnecessary fear\, trauma\, and prolonged suffering and grief. \nBut death is not the enemy. \nIt is our greatest teacher about how to truly live. \nWhen we return death to its place as a natural\, sacred transition\, we begin to reclaim peace\, presence\, and purpose in our lives and communities TODAY! \nWhat You Can Do:\nJoin The Experience and Share with Your Friends!
