About the Webinar:


​COURSE DESCRIPTION:
When a loss lacks clarity or resolution because of ambiguous circumstances, a grieving person needs a different approach for moving onward in their life. When that loss is related to loving someone who has an ongoing chronic brain condition, such as schizophrenia, grief is complex and often disenfranchised. Offering a person permission to grieve and tools to grieve skillfully can help them reframe their circumstances and reclaim empowerment and a sense of resilience.

Course objectives:
At the end of this program, participants will be able to...
  1. Be able to recognize and describe ambiguous loss. 
  2. Know the difference between an ambiguous loss and a typical loss. 
  3. Understand 6 foundational guidelines for coping with ambiguous loss. 
  4. Know what severe mental illness means and how a psychotic condition impacts a family, especially as systems of care are poorly built to support that person or their family.

Her self-help book, Gone Before Gone, details her son’s death from his SMI, and her progression from deep grief toward active healing.
