Grief & Loss- How to create sacred spaces for your church.

God calls us to be communal in all things, and this includes grief. Our American culture often wants us to grieve quickly or in isolation, and if we are not intentional the church can mirror that same approach when assisting those grieving in our communities. This training will help you and your teams develop a pastoral heart and perspective when approaching those in grief. Healing is found when the church intentionally creates a shared language of suffering and sacred spaces for suffering. Along with developing a pastoral heart, you will also learn how to build a long term plan as you walk with those who are grieving, how to avoid compassion fatigue, and how to connect people to higher levels of care when needed. Awareness, willingness, and space within the Church can dramatically change the way we care for the body of Christ. May we all join together to be the difference the community is longing for.
