Dealing with Loss

Experiencing loss is one of the hardest things we face as humans. Losing a loved one brings on a multitude of feelings.

In her book, Goodbye for Now, Welby O’Brien uses personal experience with her counseling back ground to help us walk through the stages of loss. She also supplies the necessary resources to handle all the paper work and planning needs we encounter. For me, those are usually the last things on my mind. Welby knows that and makes it easier for us by including those in her book, so we can focus on what is most important.

Welby O-Brien is a nationally sought-after conference speaker and guest lecturer for groups and leadership training. And an expert on practical advice, including divorce, grief and PTSD. But what sets her apart is that she has lived it herself, researched it, and shares it all with hungry hearts. Impassioned with encouragement, Welby has been touching many with help and hope.

Welby holds a Master’s Degree in counseling from Portland State University and a teaching degree from Biola University. Drawing from her own personal experiences she has authored Goodbye for Now (grief preparation/support), and Formerly A Wife (divorce recovery) , and LOVE OUR VETS: Restoring Hope for Families of Veterans with PTSD.  She is also a contributing author to Chicken Soup for the Soul: Divorce and Recovery, Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Spirit of America, as well as Shepherding Women in Pain.  Actively involved in leadership and teaching for over 30 years, Welby has also been a welcomed guest on radio and television, as well as featured in video productions.

Welby initiated and facilitates the national support network called Love Our Vets – PTSD Family Support, LLC, and has been reaching thousands with her timely book LOVE OUR VETS: Restoring Hope for Families of Veterans with PTSD . She was also honored as Woman of the Month by Oregon Women’s Report.

She and her husband live in Portland, Oregon.
