Improving Communication When No One Understands Workshop

Feeling misunderstood, unsupported, or disconnected from the people around you after a loss? You're not alone — and it's one of the most surprising and painful parts of the grief journey.

In this free live workshop, Kelly Daugherty and Karyn Arnold came together as the GRIEF Ladies to talk about one of the most-asked-about topics in grief: communication. We cover why the people in your life often don't know what to say, why support falls away over time, and — most importantly — what you can actually do about it.

In this workshop, we discuss:

• Why grief can feel so isolating even when you have people around you
• How our grief-averse culture affects the support you receive
• The "I" in the G.R.I.E.F. Framework: Interacting — improving communication and managing relationship changes
• What to say (and what not to say) — and who to say it to
• How to handle the question "How are you?" when you're grieving
• Navigating difficult conversations and setting boundaries
• What to do when communication is no longer an option with someone in your life
• Letter templates you can use to communicate your needs — whether your loss is recent or has been with you for a long time
