How does this work?
Shattered to Connected is a unique experience, a source of information and direct support for you. There are modules filled with videos and exercises created by Dr Mulloy, especially for grieving families. There is a weekly call with Dr. Mulloy, who has worked for over 20 years as a clinical psychologist and who specializes in bereavement. On the calls you can discuss yours and your children’s current needs and apply the information in the videos and exercises to your specific life situations. Together, we can focus on how to keep all your family members coping in healthy ways. Each person grieves in his or her own way so no two families are exactly the same.
Its not about stopping sadness, or suppressing grief; It is about how to allow you and your children to move through mourning and build vibrant joyful lives. Your lives will be forever changed and you will always remain connected to the person who died. This is about keeping a fond remembrance and being able to live life to its fullest. It takes time but it also takes connection, connection to each other, to knowledge about healthy coping and to your own natural healing and resiliency.
