Building A Comprehensive Grief Support Program

We know that you and the members of your congregations experience death on a routine basis. It can sometimes drain and wear down the best of clergy and lay ministers, chaplains, rabbis, and imams. It is strenuous work to remain open and nurturing to the pain that comes along with loss and separation.

At Lighthouse Hospice, this is all we do.

We have develop key insights, strategies, and talking points to help begin and facilitate the movement of grief and loss. Let us help your designated church, temple, fellowship, or mosque ministry team by sharing what we know about the path of grief.

• What happens at the beginning?
• What routine things occur?
• How do people mend?
• What are the signs of complicated grief?
• What antidotes are their to the suffering that comes from separation?
• How can art help the mending?

We can share with you the best-practices that we have put in place over our close to 20 years of end-of-life care in our community. We even have a our ready-to-present workshop all set to give to your group TODAY.
