Thank you to everyone who joined us for this event!

About this event

If you have suffered a loss and are experiencing grief or sadness as the holidays approach: understand that you are not alone. Though dealing with grief and loss is always challenging, processing this emotion around the holidays can be even more difficult. Join host Kelly Grosklags as she helps us explore and understand the grief we are feeling, honor it, and learn how we can heal.

At the end of the event, everyone will gather on Zoom to light a candle and say the name of someone they are missing, for a beautiful, shared experience.

She published “A Comforted Heart: An oncology psychotherapist’s perspective on finding meaning and hope during grief and loss” in 2017. She was honored to keynote at several oncology and bereavement conferences across the nation.
