After the Storm: Where Healing Begins
Presenter
Life doesn’t come with a roadmap for loss. Whether you’ve lost a spouse, a child, a parent, or a future you’d planned on – grief has a way of leaving you standing in the rubble, wondering how you’ll ever find your way through.
After the Storm: Where Healing Begins is for everyone who has loved deeply and lost. Certified grief educator and life coach Brian D. Smith brings his own hard-won experience and nearly a decade of walking alongside grieving people to honest, heartfelt conversations about what grief really looks like — and what healing actually requires.
This isn’t about getting over it. It’s about finding out who you are on the other side of it.
The storm was real. The pain is real. And so is what comes next.
Join Brian and let’s find it together.
