I do believe that acknowledging and recognizing grief is very important work right now.

Here are the handouts that went with it, edited with things participants added: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GAoREasH8DQ0JcJqQMVHHB9PNMQ7FjlN/view?usp=sharing

I also pointed folks to some great podcasts, including the Unlocking Us (Brenebrown.com) podcast with David Kessler: https://brenebrown.com/podcast/david-kessler-and-brene-on-grief-and-finding-meaning/
And Dr. Carol Bechtel's brief and powerful video about writing a lament: https://vimeo.com/414825525
I noted the Gottman Institute has a course on grief for kids that is discounted right now. I want to do that, but have not yet.
What are you finding helpful?
