​Art After Loss Online Course
Art After Loss will take you on a journey using Art to process grief.  In this class. You'll learn how to use art as a way to express your pain and grief
and to overcome fears. You don't have to be a talented artist to join Art After Loss, all  you need is the willingness to experiment and release your
inner artist. Creating art will give you a chance to slow down and explore all the  emotions that come with grief. The focus of this class will be on the
process of creating with 5 different mediums, rather than the final  product itself.

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. 
Here is the link:  https://youtu.be/Wzg8oEJQIkQ

Self-Care for Breakups by Blessings Manifesting
When our relationships fall apart - especially co-dependent, abusive, and toxic ones -
it's important to practice self-care. Not all self-care is created equally and in this workbook,
self-care is based on your type of breakup, the type of relationship you were in and the
​main emotions you're struggling with at the time. Breakups often bring up deep feelings
​of grief and loss that need to be processed just as much as that of a death.
