Art Your Grief classes are for grievers. Grief comes in many different forms. This class is for anyone experiencing grief, it might be a diagnosis, a death, a relationship, job loss, a dream, a home, etc. All grievers are welcome. No art experience is needed. All you need is to bring yourself and be willing to show up and try painting, drawing and collage to process your grief. Explore and express your grief using art on Zoom in a safe space with other grievers. Emily will be walking you through different prompts with basic art supplies (watercolor, colored pencils, collage - nothing fancy) to help you connect with your grief while creating. The goal is not to create beautiful art (although sometimes this happens), the focus is on your grief and having a designated safe space to connect and express your grief using color, texture, and movement. Art is a powerful tool to express and explore grief. There is something beautiful that happens when we sit with it all - even if it’s extremely difficult to do. Next class series: Three options for month long classes that meet once a week on zoom: *Sunday, May 15, 22, 29 (3 meetings) - 3:30-4:45 PM PDT/5:30-6:45 PM CT - $90 *Tuesday, May 10, 17, 24, 31 (4 meetings) - 6:30-7:45 PM PDT/8:30-9:45 PM CT - $120 *Wednesday, May 4, 11, 18, 25 (4 meetings) - 8:30-9:45 AM PDT/10:30-11:45 AM CDT - $120 The first 60 min. are for creating, the last 15 are for optional sharing/listening (or you can continue creating).

Monday, May 9, 2022 at 8:00 PM EST We've all heard that writing and journaling is the 'best' way to start healing...but a blank sheet of paper is so overwhelming. However, there's something very meaningful about getting your thoughts and feelings from head to heart to hand to hope - whether you choose to write for yourself or for the masses. Learn the secrets and the baby steps Crystal Webster, founder, and chief solace officer at Sharing Solace used to take her hot mess to an haute message - plus get a special excerpt from her just-released book 'Confessions of a Griever'!

Find Peace And Move Forward One Day At A Time: May 2 - 6, 2022 Join host, and suicide bereavement coach, Caro Brookings, and these featured speakers: Carey Conley & Laurel Wilson - Authors and Vision Experts Jill Cowan - Co-Founder of Healing To The Max Kelli Nielsen - Founder of The Grief Guru Lisa K Boehm - Author Marianne Gouveia - Founder of EricsHouse Melissa Bottorff-Arey - Podcast Host and Author Rita Schulte - Licensed Professional Board Certified Counselor Sara J. Cobb - Founder of My Grief Connection Tracy Oeser - Founder of Journey Thru Grief Do you feel overwhelming guilt about the suicide of your loved one because you should have done “this” and you could have done “that”? Do you keep thinking about why your loved one took their life? Or maybe you knew your loved one was struggling and you were still unable to save them? You are not alone, and you do not have to suffer in silence. If you have been longing to let go of your guilt after losing your loved one to suicide…then you should sign up for the Healing After Suicide Loss interview series. My friend Caro Brookings has brought together 20+ top experts, authors and support providers from the suicide grief and loss space for this free interview series on how to let go of your guilt, find peace and move forward one day at a time. When your loved one has died by suicide, you don’t have the time or the energy to scour the internet and find some of the fantastic resources that are out there available to you. Maybe you have tried some advice that you’ve heard somewhere and you felt a little better for a while, only to be back at square one the next day. So you sit there alone, feeling sad and anxious, and you wonder if you will ever feel happy again. Here’s what I believe: We don’t move on after suicide loss, but you can move forward if you work through your grief. Because time alone doesn’t heal all wounds - it’s important what you do with your time. You should know it is possible for you too to let go of your guilt and find peace. You just need to know the right steps to take. That’s why I am so grateful for the Healing After Suicide Loss interview series. It’s 5 days of tried and tested advice and encouragement from top experts from around the world to help YOU move forward with your life. It’s free, but you have to save your seat to get access.

Child Partner Ex-Partner Spouse Ex-Spouse Sibling Grandparent Grandchild Friend Parent Step-Parent Co-Worker Cousin Aunt Uncle Niece Nephew Relationship Pet Job Home Freedom Safety Sending you all wishes for a gentle holiday weekend. If you are missing a dear loved one, feeling lonely, or are dealing with any kind of loss. Holidays can lose their sparkle and intensify difficult emotions when you are grieving. They can be a tender reminder of what and who we are missing. It is normal to struggle on these special days and it's okay to change up traditions or skip the celebrations all together if that is easier for you this year. If it feels comforting it may be helpful to share a pleasant memory with a trusted person, enjoy some of your favorite treats, make a donation to a favorite charity, or do something like light a candle or say a prayer to commemorate your person. Whether you acknowledge this holiday or not, take time this weekend to show yourself some love, care, and compassion. Wishing you special moments of serenity and delight that give your heart a little lift. With love and blessings, Sara J. Cobb Founder, My Grief Connection Bend Not Break: Suicide Prevention Concert
