Date: Saturday, April 12, 2025
Time: 9:00am – 10:30 am PDT/12:00pm – 1:30pm EDT
Who: Bereaved Parents
Facilitator: Holly Ann Abel
In this 90-minute, interactive workshop, bereaved parents will be guided through the process of writing a heartfelt letter to themselves—acknowledging their grief, honoring their strength, and offering words of love and kindness. Often, in the aftermath of loss, we forget to care for ourselves as we navigate the intense emotions that come with grief. This session is designed to help participants release guilt, embrace self-compassion, and recognize the growth in themselves during their healing journey. Gentle prompts will guide the writing process, and participants are welcome to share their letters if it feels right for them, fostering a sense of support and community.
