We have all been there. Some people just know the right thing to say or do and others struggle with it. This is because we don't want to sound insincere or like a goofball. So how do we make it less of an awkward situation? It starts with you. If you had experienced loss, what was something that made an impact and helped you get through things, or on the other side, what was something that left you feeling a bit awkward. Everyone struggles, so we are going to put together a 10-part series of ideas on "Communicating During Grief".

I do what I do for my widow clients. When I see the incredible progress that they make by having individualized support, I feel proud, not for me, but for them. Here is what Danielle had to say: “I was struggling and felt stuck in my grief. I truly needed the guidance of someone who has been through a similar loss experience as myself. Jody has helped me to build confidence to move forward through one of the very most difficult times in my life. I now have the confidence and tools that I can rely on to help me break unhealthy patterns and form healthier ones.” Danielle R.
