Online Masterclass “Who Am I Now? Finding Yourself Again After Loss”

An online masterclass on how grief reshapes your identity, why you may not feel like yourself, and how to begin finding your way forward.

Loss doesn’t just take the person; it often takes who you were with them.
And no one really talks about that part.

In this free 60-minute masterclass, we’ll explore how grief reshapes your identity, your roles, routines, relationships, and sense of self.

You might not feel like “you” anymore.
You might feel uncertain, or like you’re moving through a life that no longer fits.

We’ll cover:

  • What identity really means, and how it’s affected by grief
  • Why you might feel lost, even if your loss isn’t recent
  • The neuroscience behind identity changes in grief
  • How grief affects your roles, routines, and relationships
  • Why feeling like a different person is a normal part of the process

There will be time for questions at the end.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of why identity loss is such a significant part of grief, and why feeling disconnected or unsure of who you are now is more common than you think.

Carol Banens is your guide for this event. She’s a Certified Grief Educator, a Certified Grief to Gratitude Coach, co-founder of The Grief Gurus, and a widow.

She understands, from lived experience, how challenging grief can be. And because we don’t talk about it enough, many people are left wondering what’s normal or what to expect.

Today, Carol speaks openly about grief, supports clients through it, and writes about it.

She’s the author of the Amazon #1 bestseller Kintsugi Your Heart: The Art of Living With Grief, as well as The Short Grief Series, a collection of four practical books supporting people through different aspects of grief, including Self-Care During Grief: 10 Essential Practices.
