Saturday - Registration closes at noon on Friday.  Registrations received after this time may not be processed in time to participate.

People who have suffered the death of a loved one are initially swamped with the unasked-for emotion of grief, bringing tremendous sadness, anger, and guilt. However, psychotherapy counsels that the emotion of grief itself is different from GRIEF WORK.   Grief work actually helps grief and its attendant strong emotions to lighten over time. We then begin to realize that grief has become our FRIEND, a friend that gently reminds us to work on yet another aspect of grief that our loved one’s death has caused. As our sadness, anger, and guilt lighten, we begin to engage in life again and feel the sense of renewal, even joy, that our deceased loved one would want for us. Please bring a picture of your loved one to share.

The number of participants is limited to 6 to allow each person a 20 minute private session with Faith Sullivan, MDiv, Psycotherapist.

Cost -  $55 includes lunch
