10 Secrets of Grief
Videos by Carolyn B. Healy
At the end of a counseling session, clients would say, "I feel okay when I'm here, but then it's the middle of the night and I can't remember a thing we talked about." So I created this Waves of Grief website to be available 24/7. It has now been visited by thousands of grievers from 40 countries.
Then a friend asked me to create an audio version of the site for her mother and other visually impaired people who are seeking ways to cope with grief. "If only I had a tape of the 10 secrets list at least, I could play it for her," she said. So I created this series of videos sharing my core ideas about grieving — for her, and for anyone who prefers a human voice to words on the page.
