Grief - The Price We Pay For Love

Saturday, Dec. 1, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

Grief is a NATURAL and NORMAL reaction to loss . . . loss of any kind. The death of a loved one is perhaps the most devastating loss one may experience. Yet, grief occurs following any change in our lives. Grief is NOT a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith.

This day will explore the dimensions of grief. It will provide an opportunity for you to enter more fully into your experience of grief, to share with others your stories (or not) and hopefully to leave strengthened and renewed with hope.

Grief 2 - The Price We Pay For Love

Saturday, Feb. 16, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

This session will build on and continue the exploration of Grief as it was begun in the December 1 session. We will look at the symptoms of grief, stages of grief, anticipatory grief, unresolved grief and tasks in grieving.

The December 1 day on Grief is NOT pre-requisite for this one.
