Adam's House in Shelton to host 'Good Grief: Connecticut' webinar

How not to say the wrong thing to someone grieving 

SHELTON -​ The death toll from the coronavirus has claimed more than 4,300 lives in Connecticut. 
As businesses slowly reopen and residents re-emerge from quarantine, we all seem to know a colleague, friend, or neighbor who has lost a loved one.

Don’t miss this free, upcoming webinar, “Good Grief: Connecticut” at 10 a.m. July 29 hosted by the non-profit grief Center, Adam’s House. 
In this free Facebook Live event, Adam’s House Founder and Executive Director Allison Wysota will team up with Licensed Professional Counselor Caitlin Iannucci to share practical tips and suggestions on how to talk with a colleague, friend, family member or neighbor who has lost a loved one - so the conversation isn’t awkward or uncomfortable. And so you don’t say the wrong thing or make things worse.
Ultimately, what Wysota and Iannucci have found and will share are profoundly simple strategies for approaching one of the most painful and stressful topics affecting us all.
“We’ve opted for an ‘Ask Me Anything’ format because that’s the best way to have candid conversations about grief and loss,” Wysota said. “We’re thrilled to have veteran television producer Mercedes Velgot moderating the event. No one can keep the discussion real, raw, and relevant better than Mercedes.”
