The Third Way Through Grief

A different way to approach what you’re carrying 

2-hour course · Self-paced · Practical tools

You’re not lost.

You’re just carrying something heavy.

Grief doesn’t announce itself clearly. It shows up in small ways.

In exhaustion you can’t explain.
In conversations that feel harder than they should.
In moments where you look around and realize the world kept going, but something in you didn’t.

You might feel unmoored. Disconnected.

Like you’re the only one who hasn’t figured out how to “move forward.”

You might feel pressure to be okay.

From other people.
From yourself.

We're taught two ways to deal with grief.


Stay strong
Keep going
Try not to fall apart


 


Feel everything
Wait it out
Time will heal


 

This course offers a third way.

Not fixing.
Not avoiding.
Not performing.

Learning how to both acknowledge what has been while equipping you to begin building what can be.

Start the course

This is not a course about “getting over it.”

It’s about understanding what’s happening inside you and learning how to respond to it with more clarity and less pressure.

You’ll learn:

  • The difference between grief and grieving and why that changes everything
  • Why your experience doesn’t follow a straight line and never needed to
  • How to use grief models without feeling trapped by them
  • Why trying to stay busy or “be okay” can quietly make things harder
  • How to recognize the invisible effort it takes just to get through the day
  • How to build your own personal toolbox for navigating what you’re carrying

Not a timeline.
Not a checklist.

Something you can actually use.

If this sounds familiar, this course is for you:

  • You’ve lost someone and nothing feels the way it used to
  • You’re taking care of someone and already feeling the weight of what’s coming
  • You work in a role where loss is part of the job, and it’s starting to catch up with you
  • You feel pressure to be okay, even when you’re not
  • You’re tired of trying to figure this out on your own

You don’t need to be in crisis.
You just need to be tired of pretending you're ok.

What you’ll walk away with

  • A clearer understanding of what you’re experiencing
  • Language to explain what’s hard to put into words
  • Permission to stop measuring yourself against other people’s timelines
  • A way to respond to grief instead of feeling controlled by it
  • A sense that you’re not doing this wrong
Because you’re not.

About the instructor

The Third Way Through Grief was created by Nick Clanton after years working in healthcare and hospice settings, walking alongside patients in some of their hardest moments. 

He believes there is a better way to do the harder parts of life.

Not one that rushes people. Not one that leaves them isolated, waiting. But one that helps them understand what they’re carrying and learn how to live with it.

The Third Way Through Grief | Foundations

Most grief support falls into one of two camps — warm reassurance that doesn't equip you, or practical steps that skip over what you're actually carrying. This course does neither. The Third Way Through Grief is a two-hour course for people who are tired of pretending they're okay. You'll learn the difference between grief and grieving, why healing doesn't follow a straight line, and how to use the stages and models you've heard about without letting them become a rulebook.

$19.97 USD

  • How to feel
  • How to “move on”

It will help you:

  • Understand why this feels the way it does
  • Stop second-guessing your own experience
  • Build a way forward that actually fits your life
