Engaging Presentations for Global Audiences
Weaving Stories Into Life-Affirming Narratives
Traditional grief psychology has long emphasized an emotional severing of the relationship with the dead that can accentuate people’s distress and insists on people letting go. Lorraine’s presentations challenge these outdated ideas, moving away from the “stages of grief” toward a more hopeful, story-centered reality that focuses on the love that remains.
In her speaking engagements, Lorraine illustrates how the remnants of a loved one's stories can be carefully cultivated into a sustained narrative. This approach helps survivors find comfort and strength, inspiring them to put one foot in front of the other with the love of their deceased alongside them.
Tailored Topics for Professional and Personal Growth
Every presentation is crafted to meet the specific needs of the audience. From medical professionals seeking new ways to support families during critical times, mental health professions seeking ongoing topical training, or community groups who are responding to death and wanting large-scale rituals that make visible those who are no longer living, Lorraine’s workshops and keynote speeches generate new ways to respond to some of life’s most challenging moments.
