Hope and Healing after baby loss

Hope and Healing after the loss of a baby workshop  is on Monday May 30th, 2011 from 6:30-9:30pm.  Join me & tell your friends.  I hope my parents, mom in law, and maybe cousins can come to this workshop with me.  It's at 20675 87th Ave Langley at St. Nicholas Catholic Church .
 

This workshop is for those grieving the loss of a younger child, infant or baby who has died at birth, or during pregnancy.  It is also geared towards caregivers and volunteers dedicated to supporting these families.
Hear from an experienced therapist who works with bereaved families and a parent who will share her faith-based journey in search of hope and healing after the loss of her baby.  Discuss healthy ways to work through the grief process and ideas on how to honour your child.  You are not alone…meet others who understand what it is like to love and miss a little one.   

Who might be interested in attending?  Parents, adult family members and friends.  Professionals and volunteers who support bereaved families after the loss of a young life are also encouraged to attend.  Note that caregivers will be given the opportunity to hear first-hand the kind of support bereaved families need, as well as share ideas with one another in a group setting. 

Additional details and topics can be found here. 
 
Cost:  $30/person or 2 tickets for $55.  After May 16th $35/person or 2 tickets for $65.  Partial proceeds will be donated to organizations that support bereaved parents.
