Circles of Support

Conversations on Grief
Hospice Austin offers free monthly 1-hour online grief support through your phone, computer, or mobile device. Conversations on Grief are are offered the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm. You’re welcome to attend one, several or all webinars.
Finding Movement Within the Paralysis of Grief
The experience of grief can leave you with little energy or motivation to draw upon as you face tremendous loss and all the emotions and logistical tasks that go with it. You are grieving yet you still must pay your bills. You feel deep emotions, yet you also feel numb. During this webinar, you will learn how to make space for both stillness and movement as you navigate your unique grief experience. The feelings of heartache, overwhelm and apathy are real and yet many people before us have emerged from their grief to find direction, meaning and fulfillment in life. What do they have to teach us?
— Wednesday, April 10: 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm
