Living in the AND Webinar

We can miss the person who died, AND still experience moments of joy. We can acknowledge the change that loss has brought about AND still be able to live our lives and recognize that we have skills and gifts to share.

On Thursday, April 11th, Imagine’s Grief Educator, Connie Palmer, LCSW will present a webinar on Living in the AND from 7-8:30 pm via Zoom. This workshop will encourage consideration of how to live fully again after a loss by learning how to live in the AND.
Those who attend will be able to:

1. Define what it means to “live in the AND”
2. Identify the connection between grief and learning how to live in the AND
3. Explain how grief is a “liminal space”

This webinar is free but registration is required. Contact Veronica Ortiz, LPC for more information veronica@imaginenj.org or 908-264-3100.
