An interesting topic! Check out this free talk from David Kessler.

I'm sitting down with Dr. Joshua Coleman, one of the leading voices on family estrangement, for a free live conversation on what this grief actually is, and what helps. Whether you're living this yourself or supporting others through it.

Over the years, I've trained thousands of therapists, coaches, and grief educators. People who've dedicated their lives to helping others through loss.

Again and again, I hear the same thing. Underneath the grief work they do professionally, many are carrying a second grief of their own: someone in their family they're estranged from.

It's a loss with no funeral, no sympathy cards, sometimes not even permission to call it grief, because the person is still alive.

One hour. Free. Live on Zoom.
