Healthy Remembrance Memorial Ornament Grief Art Workshop
The holidays are upon us and it is extra important to take intentional time to care for yourself and to remember and honor the love ones you've lost. Grief always seems to tougher around the holidays, but the chaos and isolation of 2020 is unlike anything we've ever faced. That's why Danica Thurber at Project Grief put together this Healthy Remembrance Memorial Ornament grief art workshop. In this workshop you'll learn how to make a beautiful ornament that contains hand-written memories. The trouble is that the holidays are here, but our lost loved ones not. It can be tempting to either push thoughts of a lost loved one away, OR sink into the depths of despair. That’s why doing something productive - making something with your hands! - can be so helpful. This ornament is made out of a toilet paper roll. Before making the snowflake, you’ll have time to reflect and write a memory or a letter to your lost loved one. Watch it and participate for FREE.

 Instagram LIVE Event: Lulu Faces Loss and Finds Encouragement
Join @my_grief_connection founder, Sara Cobb, and author Danica Thurber of @projectgriefart for a special Instagram LIVE event on Friday, October 16th at 6:00 PM (MST). We'll be giving you a preview of her beautiful new children's book, “Lulu Faces Loss and Finds Encouragement.” We'll also be chatting about our favorite grief resources for children and share some suggestions to help parents & caregivers who are tending to children who are grieving. “Lulu Faces Loss and Finds Encouragement” gives children a way to creatively express their thoughts and emotions about death & grief. It’s also a helpful resource for the adults in their lives because it helps both sides engage in meaningful conversation. There’s even instructions to a cute craft activity that goes with the book - one which kids and adults can do together. Attend the IG LIVE for a chance to will a FREE eBook copy in a drawing! The e-book is available now as a pre-release on Amazon and it’s only a few dollars.

but what do you say? Avoid these common mistakes and get to know some actually helpful things you can write. Words have power to wound, cover up, or actually help them heal. https://youtu.be/IR5SSqY3zAk  Art Journaling for Grieving Parents (& those who lost what will never be) with artist Danica Thurber of Project Grief
Follow along with the lovely Danica Thurber of Project Grief during a replay of a special Watch Party where you'll do an easy art activity. Grieving what will never be (vs. grieving what was) is a kind of loss that requires special attention and care. This kind of grief hits parents most when they lose a child. No art experience required. All you need is something to write with and something to write on. https://www.facebook.com/watchparty/2461840070812525/?entry_source=PAGE_TIMELINE Project Grief: Growth Mindsets for Grievers - Free Webinar - Part 1 Project Grief: Growth Mindsets for Grievers - Free Webinar - Part 2 Have you ever thought "I should be done feeling like 'this' by now"? This kind of "fixed mindset" actually stifles grief and keeps you from ever "feeling better"! We can't change our loss or the circumstances around us, but we do have the power over our mindset. "Growth mindset" is a way of thinking that opens up new possibilities and paves the way for change and growth. In these 2 FREE webinar replays, hosted by Danica Thurber from Project Grief, you'll learn some new powerful changes in mindset, as well as a few practical tips and tricks as to how you can put them into practice in your life. I highly recommend Project Grief and have taken the mini-course, master course & Holidays After Loss Course myself with great results.
