Summary:
Living with Ongoing Grief While Living With Life-Altering and Life-Limiting Conditions
Grief is not just experienced after a death; those of us with life-altering and life-limiting conditions often live with grief that is not recognized or understood by others, including health care professionals.
This grief is another factor that can separate us from our communities. It may last for a life-time, years, months or days prior to any death.
This webinar explores the concept of how grief can be part of our ongoing lives that may begin at diagnosis or the first presentation of symptoms and continues to death and beyond, along with strategies to incorporate this grief into our lives and to use it to thrive.
