Talk Title: Honoring the Loss While Moving Forward
What if moving forward doesn’t require rushing past the grief but learning how to carry it differently?
Divorce often brings layered losses: not only the relationship, but the future once imagined, the sense of home, and parts of identity tied to that life. This session is designed to help participants
understand divorce as a form of grief and explore how emotional readiness plays a role in life and housing transitions.
What You’ll Explore in This Session
Participants will explore how grief shows up during divorce, why emotions can feel complicated or conflicting, and how to process loss without feeling stuck. The session also examines how
emotional readiness impacts housing decisions, including staying, selling, or starting fresh. Attendees will gain insight into how honoring grief can actually support clarity, healing, and
healthier forward movement.
Featured Speakers:
Teresa Reiniger – Certified Grief Specialist & Women’s Coach
Teresa supports individuals navigating the emotional and identity shifts that come with divorce, separation, and life after loss. With a background in grief support and nervous-system-informed
coaching, she helps normalize complicated emotions, validate loss, and offer practical tools for processing grief with compassion. Teresa’s approach emphasizes that grief does not signal failure, it reflects love, care, and meaningful attachment.
Lisa Webb – Realtor & Owner
Lisa focuses on creating a seamless, supportive experience where clients feel heard, valued, and cared for. She will address the emotional side of housing transitions during divorce,
including the difference between emotional and logical decision-making, timing a move, renting versus buying, and preparing emotionally to leave a marital home. Lisa’s perspective highlights
how housing decisions impact emotional healing, not just finances.
Session Takeaway
Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of divorce as a grief experience and greater awareness of how emotional readiness affects major life decisions. This session offers
reassurance, validation, and practical guidance for honoring the past while gently moving toward what’s next.
