People sometimes say surprising things to those who are grieving the loss of a loved one, often because they frankly just don’t know what to say. In reality, people stumble on words and gestures as they try to create a connection with a griever, possibly comparing a personal loss experience. While their intentions might mean well, how can they know how you feel? Your feelings of grief are yours and yours alone. Join instructor Rachel Kodanaz in a conversation of how to navigate conversations with people whose remarks may feel insensitive. Learn how to develop meaningful ways to respond without feeling angry, guilty, or hurt, and guide the conversation to protect yourself and your feelings.

 Asking For Help When You Are Grieving FREE Webinar Presented By TAPS
August 17, 2021, at 12:00 PM EST Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) understands and is here to walk beside you along your grief journey. If you need a compassionate, resourceful listener, TAPS will be there for you. Call their 24/7 National Military Survivor Helpline at 800-959-TAPS (8277). Day or night, a member of their team will answer and be ready to connect with you. Join TAPS.org for their FREE webinar, "Asking For Help When You Are Grieving," on August 17, 2021, at 12:00 PM EST. There are many reasons it can be difficult to ask for help when we need it, and grief can make it more challenging. There could be fear that we are bothering someone with our problems. Maybe grief has taken too much energy and we can't figure out what we need or how to reach out. If a prior request for help or support was met with unhelpful or hurtful responses, we may hesitate to ask again. Join Dr. Ken Doka for this webinar as he explores these realities and offers useful exercises and ideas to both ask for and offer support when someone is grieving. Contact the TAPS Institute via email at Institute@taps.org or call 1-800-959-8277 with questions.

March 16, 2021 from 12:00 - 1:00 PM EST Guilt is one of the most common emotions to experience after loss, but it can be the result of good people being much too hard on themselves. Although sometimes there really is something worth feeling guilty about, guilt can also result from good people being much too hard on themselves. We can sometimes expect way too much of ourselves and beat ourselves up when we don’t fulfill those expectations. It’s important to notice this kind of thinking when it occurs, because it can stand in our way of healthy grieving. In this webinar, Dr. David Feldman will discuss common ways we can be way too hard on ourselves after a loss, along with tips about how to be kinder to ourselves. Presented by the TAPS Institute for Hope and Healing®, this webinar is free and open to the public. Continuing education credit is not available.
