Grieving the Death of a Spouse or Partner:
Webinar Recording

Partners fulfil many roles in our lives and their death involves losses on many levels. From the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, to secondary losses associated with the loss of an imagined future, self-confidence, financial security, a co-parent, a shared life. 

In this 100-minute recording Nathan MacArthur from Sydney Grief Counselling and I discuss key ideas and challenges after the death of a partner. We talk frankly and sensitively about difficult feelings of guilt, blame and anger, the impact of well-meaning but hurtful comments, and offer helpful strategies to cope in the days, months and years to come. The recording includes questions asked by participants during this live session recorded on 1 September, 2021.
