About Wellness Day

Grieving the death of a loved one is a complex journey. It is a unique process for every individual, with no easy path or timetable to follow. How we feel, what the loss means to us, and the way we choose to cope with our grief differs for each of us.

The journey we face after the death of a loved one is very difficult and stressful. This seminar is designed to give attendees an opportunity to learn new coping skills, better understand their feelings, and come away with a renewed sense of hope for the future.

Workshops
