Sib Grief Webinar
Thursday, September 26th at 7pm Eastern, 6pm Central, 5pm Mountain, and 4pm Pacific
There is no roadmap for grief, and when you are grieving your sibling with a disability, it can feel really lonely and isolating. Often times, there are other emotions like guilt and relief that are involved, and we donāt know how to navigate these emotions. This webinar will address our basic needs and how grief can show up in different ways. When we know ourselves better, we are able to recognize and identify what weāre feeling and then able to have a bit more control of our emotions and actions. This free webinar is presented by Shruti Tekwani, licensed mental health counselor and coach.

Very excited to have found this! My sister and I have two brothers with IDD, and recently launched a podcast sharing our experiences with other siblings. Our next episode is on grief , as both of our parents have passed (mom just 18 months ago) and now we have taken on the role of guardians. We are eager to listen and learn!
Sorry I missed this will there be another upcoming one?
