2021 Educational Program”Doing Grief Well Part 2: Grieving During the Holidays” with Pat Obst and Loretta Depka Zerbo is Now On The Starting Point’s YouTube Channel

When we learn to grieve well, we can journey through grief, find healing, purpose, and move towards re-creating our lives after loss. In this program, Pat Obst, LCSW, MSW and Loretta Depka Zerbo, Executive Director discussed the process of grieving during the holidays.

It can be challenging; some people think it SUCKS (Sad; Uncomfortable; Challenging; Keeps our pain fresh; and Seals our joy) but there are opportunities for healing and growth when you learn to grieve well.
