After nearly two decades of clinical experience and her own journey after losing her mother to cancer, Gina Moffa, LCSW offers knows all too well how disorienting, painful, and lonely grief can be. In Moving on Doesn’t Mean Letting Go, she offers a heartfelt, practical map through loss—one that can shift the pain of your grief even when things feel unpredictable and overwhelming. With her help you’ll learn to:

• Manage social media and interactions with the outside world
• Connect mind and body through somatic exercises and self-reflections

You can learn to be empowered by the very thing you imagined would swallow you whole.
