About Walking Through Grief
The Walking Through Grief family of grief support products started the way many good ideas start...with a conversation. In this case, the conversation was between four people who have all experienced significant loss in their lives. All four, in different ways, were working with the bereaved.
Glen and Tanya Lord volunteer in multiple ways with the Compassionate Friends, a national bereaved parent grief self-support group. Alan Pedersen is a singer, songwriter and inspirational speaker on grief and loss and travels the United States bringing wisdom and hope to those who are grieving. Denise has run multiple grief support groups for bereaved mothers and is now traveling with Alan sharing hope to the bereaved nationwide.
Both couples realized that part of their desire was to provide
good grief
information that could be used in a support group setting, but also be available to individuals in their own home. They brought together some of "the brightest minds on the planet" in grief and loss - a mix of professionals and the bereaved - to share their own insight from their grief journey.
The Walking Through Grief product line is divided in to two sections. One is a series of single short grief support DVDs with a variety of different focuses.
