This 6-wk online course is for you if...
- You're a professional caregiver, counselor, leader, or alongsider who is passionate about caring for people who have experienced loss.
-
You connect with people who experience all types of loss, and you work hard to help them navigate their experiences.
If you're frustrated because...
-
People come to you to talk about their losses, but you're not sure what to say.
- You see people who are struggling with loss, but you aren’t sure how to help them get unstuck.
- You feel like you are doing as much as you can, but there’s still something missing.
-
You need clear, practical language and relevant resources for all kinds of loss, not just death and grief.
I get it!
I'm Steve Johnson, co-founder of PathLights. As a minister for more than 30 years, I've walked with friends & family members through their losses, while others have walked with me through my own.
But as I've often struggled with a consistent problem...
Loss resources are fragmented and inconsistent.
While it was easy to find books, web resources and support groups dealing with death and grief, the language used for death didn't usually fit other types of loss, like job loss, natural disaster, or domestic violence.
I used what I had learned to support and encourage, but I often felt helpless when others minimized or suppressed their loss experiences. I didn't have the best words or tools to effectively speak to their need.
Imagine what it would feel like to...
Finally have clear, simple language to help someone better understand their loss experience.
Have practical tools that can help build resilience and restore agency to someone who has suffered a loss.
Recognize the impact and connection of your own losses and begin to integrate them more effectively into your life and work.
All while building your confidence to care for others.
We believe that by leaning into loss, building resiliency, and actively supporting each other, we can create healthier loss experiences.
Our goal is to help people deal proactively with loss in its many forms, particularly in the early days, when grief hasn't yet set in.
Since early 2018, our team has evaluated existing loss research and analyzed related resources to identify a new roadmap through loss.
And now we're excited to share what we've learned with you!
