  • Deep grief is like a puzzle unique to you and you need help to decode the puzzle
  • You are allowed to pick and choose from the tools offered to find what works for you
  • Pain is unavoidable, but suffering is optional
  • Reaching out for qualified help is the key to navigating the grief journey
  • I will never "move on" but I can "move forward"
  • How to find new meaning and purpose in life
  • How to deal with the anger of loss
  • You still have power in your pain
  • Learning how to be kind to yourself and patient with others
  • And more
