*VIRTUAL* Offering Meaningful Consolation: From pep talks to compassion and empathy

Join author Dana Lacy Amarisa (Condolences Pocket Guide) as she takes us on a compassionate tour of our culture’s most commonly said unhelpful condolences—using them as a helpful roadmap to offering meaningful consolation to a sad friend.

“I’ve said almost every condolence that I urge people to never, ever say to a grieving friend. So no judgements here. We don’t know until we know.” — Amarisa

Her kind, insightful, straightforward style comes through both in her presentation and in the experiential Q&A session that follows, where audience members can receive coaching on how to say consolation from the heart or can ask questions or make comments about starting a healing conversation with a sad friend.
