I'M READY TO GET STARTED AND HOST MY FIRST GRIEF TALK CIRCLE

When supporting one who is grieving, the greatest gift you can give is the gift of compassion, care, and concern.  Yet, although meaning well, we often do just the opposite.  We say and do things that just aren’t helpful.  It isn’t our fault.  We currently live in a grief-avoidance society and a world that diminishes the need for grief education.  It’s time to turn that around.

The occasion of death will directly or indirectly affect every household and organization at some point.  What might happen if each of us took 100% responsibility for having the conversation about this inevitable event prior to its occurrence?  The saying that we do better when we know better is so applicable here.  What if we begin now to revolutionize the myths and judgmental perceptions surrounding loss and grief?  What if we become better able to personally cope with loss?  What if we know and understand why some things are not helpful to say to one who is grieving?  What if we advocate for grief education in our schools, universities, churches, and workplaces?  What if we open the discussion now so that future generations are better able to speak on the topic instead of avoiding the elephant in the room?  

With a global movement, we can educate, advocate, and empower individuals to revolutionize this integral occasion of life.  Join me in reaching, sharing, and making a difference.  If not now, then when?

WHY JOIN THE MOVEMENT AND HOST A GRIEF TALK CIRCLE?

One of the best ways to learn something ourselves is to teach it to others.  I’ve learned the best and worst things to say to someone grieving by actually saying all the wrong things and being corrected by the many families I served as a death care professional.  I once told a family member, “I’m sorry for your loss,” and she responded, “Don’t feel sorry for me as I am not a victim.” 

The more we talk about dying, death, loss, and grief, the better we understand and accept it.  You don’t have to know it all to lead a discussion group, mastermind, or present a workshop.  We will never know it all as we continue learning from the families that we serve.  Imagine the impact and difference you can make by sharing information based on Grief Talk Revolution: It’s Time to Talk About the Elephant in the Room with families, friends, social groups, churches, schools, or organizations.  Your compassion, care, and concern will never go unappreciated.  Contribute to your own legacy and begin helping others.

EDUCATE | ADVOCATE | EMPOWER

Increase your impact and influence by advocating on a subject that no one wants to talk about but EVERYONE needs to hear.  Elevate your personal and professional status by sharing this information.  Boost your own confidence by sharing in small groups or from the stage. 

Who can you help?  Think about it.  Who do you know that is exempt from experiencing the occasion of death?  If you said no one, then that leaves everyone, right.  The list is endless, but I’ll share ideas to start with:

Family and Friends, Small Business Owners, Death Care Professionals, Coaches, Financial Planners, Estate Planners, Banks, Unions, Trade Associations, Healthcare Organizations, Educational Institutions, Nurses, Physicians, Life Insurance Agents, Elder Care Law Firms, Churches, Hospice Organizations, Nonprofit Organizations, Entrepreneurs, Book Clubs, Sororities and Fraternities, Barber Shops and Hair Salons, Managers and Executives, Professional Practitioners, Federal and Local Government Agencies, Community Organizations, Military and Civilian Personnel, Life and Business Coaches, Health and Wellness Coaches, Senior Care Facilities, Insurance Agencies, Law Firms, Insurance Companies, Mental Health Professionals, Allied Medical Professionals, Hospice and Palliative Care Professionals, Fire and Rescue Personal, Emergency Medical Technicians …. everyday people just like you and me.

"I feel as though I've buried as many hopes and dreams in the cemetery as bodies and cremated remains.  This is sad.  I believe the more we talk about loss, death, and grief, the better we are able to live and appreciate a fulfilled life." -- Dora Carpenter

 

As Founder of the Institute of Professional Grief Coaching (IOPGC), Dora Carpenter blends her years of experience working with hundreds of families in the death care industry and her personal experiences with loss and grief to coach, train, and certify grief coaches. She says that grief is not to be fixed or cured but is a necessary part of the experience of transitioning from a place of despair to one of hope. Her mission is to help individuals move from pain to peace, heartbreak to happiness, and grief to gratitude in the shortest time possible.

Coach Dora is a certified professional coach, author, speaker, and former licensed Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway® trainer. As Founder of the International Coaching Federation (ICF)-accredited From Grief to Gratitude Coach Certification Program, Dora Carpenter has been recognized as a luminary in the field of grief coach training and certification.  One of her recent books, Grief Talk Revolution: It’s Time to Talk About the Elephant in the Room, has been endorsed by Jack Canfield, Co-Creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul Series.  Dora Carpenter also serves on the faculty of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization’s Webinar Series.
