Grief is an issue we all face. Grief is particularly difficult during the holiday season (when there are so many rich memories). That is why we are doing the “Taking the Journey of Grief with Hope” seminar December 8 and 15.
With that in mind we have one request, send out the following tweets over the next two weeks. The link provided goes to the free RSVP page with more information about the event and how to reserve childcare. All you need to do is copy, paste, and tweet.
