Another Fork in the Road: Norma Myers - Grief & Ambiguous Loss

We all know grief when we lose a loved one. But what happens when a person survives a brain injury with a completely different personality and becomes unrecognizable? How do we deal with that? Norma Myers knows all too well the repercussions of grief and ambiguous loss after both her sons were in a tragic car accident. Join us tonight to learn more about this area of loss.
