Why Does It Hurt So Much And Why Does It Last So Long?

You are invited to an evening where we will talk about what we don’t like to talk about!-  GRIEF!

David Kennedy will explore and explain why grief happens and the need to see grief as a normal healthy response to loss. This will be a practical seminar for both grievers and those who are connected to grievers and want to understand how best to be there with them.  Grief and loss are inevitable parts of life, and what you are experiencing is normal. Becoming more informed will help you feel less confused and alone. Come, join us for this important event. David Kennedy presentations are very powerful, emotional, and insightful.
