 Sometimes it feels overwhelming to support a grieving friend.  Do you belong to a community that could share in their care?  It takes a village to care for grieving people.

Your church community, workplace, professional or social group can learn the artful skills of coming close to brokenhearted friends and neighbors with confidence and ease.

To learn how to schedule a live seminar for your community send us an email with your questions and a little information about your work, church, professional or social community.
