GRIEF NEEDS A WITNESS.
CHANGE DOES, TOO.
Join our new 6-month Coaching Circle — and start making the changes you’ve been waiting to make.
(We begin on Feb. 3rd!)
Journey into the aftergrief with a small group of 12 likeminded others committed to changing THEIR old patterns and to helping YOU create lasting change — guided every week by one of the country’s leading experts on the long-term effects of bereavement.
Our six months of weekly meetings will help you REVISIT, REVISE, and REFRAME a loss in your past — and help set you free from parts of the story that have kept you feeling stuck.
Hello — I’m Hope Edelman, a grief and loss coach, and the bestselling author of Motherless Daughters and The AfterGrief.
I was 17 when my mother, Marcia, died of breast cancer. My father died, also of cancer, in 2005.
It took me years to fully understand the echo effects of my losses. For much of that time I felt stuck, as if a piece of me had been left behind.
It took me even longer — decades, really — to realize that my go-to coping strategies had stopped helping me and were even actively hurting me and those I loved. I then had to learn how to better alchemize what I’d been through into positive outcomes for myself and others.
Revisiting, reframing, and revising my stories of loss have been central to this process.
Now I’d like to share what I’ve learned with you — in my brand-new, six-month Aftergrief Coaching Circle, a 6-month, live, weekly experience that will validate and normalize what you’ve been feeling for so long.
It offers a new framework for understanding how early loss shapes your responses, your decisions, and your world view — and helps you make new choices.
This innovative, one-of-a-kind program is the culmination of my four books about loss and 25+ year of research on the topic.
The first 24 participants to enroll in this program will be the first people to have access to a completely new way of thinking about and transforming long-ago loss.
You’ll learn how to honor your hardships and also use them as springboards for living intentionally, and for finding greater meaning and purpose in matters both small and large.
Best of all — we’ll do this together, in a small group of committed and like-minded others who’ll accompany you every step o the way.
I can’t wait to welcome you into an Aftergrief circle!
SO FEW OF US HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGED TO SHARE THE DETAILS OF OUR LOSS.
That’s why I’ve developed this unique program: a first-time opportunity for a small group to work directly with me every week — and for me to work with you! — in an intimate, high-contact setting.
PLUS…after each of our 60-minute weekly sessions, you’re invited to stay online and keep talking for an additional, 30-minute open conversation between members.
Your schedule. Your choice.
