Write Your Way from Grief to Growth

Hosted by Grieving Coach

Write Your Way from Grief to Growth
Grief is often taboo and seldom discussed. Sometimes the emotions are too intense to speak. In this interactive workshop we will explore how reflective journaling can help us grow through our grief.

Whether you consider yourself a writer or not, we invite you to discover how reflective journaling can lead to profound insights.

Join Grief Coach Jenny Dilts and writer/activist Sarah Jeanne Browne on a journey of growth through grief in this intimate and interactive workshop. We will begin by hearing Sarah’s experiences of loss and how she used writing to help her process her grief. She will share lessons she’s learned along the way such as an appreciation for life, forgiveness, and compassion. Then we will take a deeper dive into the topic of grief in general and also how it’s different for each of us. In the final portion of the workshop Sarah will lead us with some of her writing prompts as we take our own deep dive into our personal experiences.
