Grief and Loss
Throughout the journey of life, we are always in the process of grieving something. The loss of a relationship, job, family member or friend, all require time and space to honor and commemorate the connection which was lost. Take time to grieve and move through difficult life experiences.
“I’ve learned that grief, like a pot of soup, changes the longer it simmers and the more things you put into it...And most importantly, I’ve learned that there is something down deep within all of us ready to help us survive the things we think we can’t survive.”
