Trust Your Grieving Heart
March 24 @ 11:15 am – 1:00 pm
Losses weave their way throughout our lives, influencing the next path we take. Grief is our built-in response to loss, our ally in traveling the confusing, painful and transformative Land of Loss. This program gently supports those with recent loss, offers a lens for long-ago losses and provides a template for the losses yet to be. Care will be offered around non-death losses, as well. Tangible ideas will be shared to help navigate through this time with key reminders about our path toward healing. Current bereavement teaching and spiritual wisdom are shared, affirming that grief is, indeed, a sacred journey.
Presenter: Lisa Irish, MEd, MA, BCC
Lisa’s two books and several CareNotes will be for sale at the program.
Suggested Offering: $10.00
