Allowing Ourselves to Grieve...Differently
A Workshop by Martha Stokes (Director, Church and Community Relations, Pinnacle Living, VAUMC Conference Lay Leader)
About this Workshop
All of the rituals of the church to support individuals through grief and mourning had to change during COVID. Moving through loss is different for each person, but this time of change has been especially challenging for senior adults. Whether our friends and family are facing the grief of death, loss of independence, employment change, impact of isolation or other possible transitions, our congregational care response must be different.
