Wellness in Grief: Taking Care of Ourselves…
A Free Grief & Healing Workshop with Linda Frank
Presented in partnership with Pinelawn Memorial Park and Arboretum
Description: This workshop will explain Linda Frank’s grief journey through the loss of two brothers, 12 years apart, and how she learned to incorporate small changes in her life to bring herself to a state of wellness, despite great sorrow.
She will give you practical tips and examples so that you can make small changes that fit your journey. And she will help you find your voice to ask for what you need and describe how to build a solid support system.
Register for free on Pinelawn’s Eventbrite Page
