28th Annual Beyond Sorrow Seminar

“Life is a Journey and Loss is a Detour: 

How to Help Someone Find Their Way Back to Life“

Loss is inevitable in life. No one escapes the many different forms of loss. When loss interrupts our life journey we are thrust into an unfamiliar landscape and our universe is forever altered.  Where there is loss, there is always grief.  How might we help others navigate the treacherous path of grief to find their way back to life and all that it has to offer? What does loss and grief have to teach them about themselves, their relationships, their world and their life path going forward?   Join us for an evening that explores these important questions.
