Featuring Alan D. Wolfelt, Ph.D.
7-9pm Monday, November 12, 2012
Celebration Center of Lexington 
When someone in your life dies, you are faced with many critical questions related to your grief and mourning. This compassionate program will help you explore these questions and provide you with the support you need.
The capacity to love requires the need to mourn when someone you love dies. This program will help you answer some of these questions: - Will I grieve this loss, or will I mourn this loss?
- Will I befriend the feelings that flow from this loss, or will I deny, repress, or inhibit them?
- Will I be a “passive witness” in my grief?
- Will I embrace the uniqueness of my grief experience, or will I assume I mourn like everyone else?
- Will I identify the six needs of mourning and work on them, or will I fall to the cliché “time heals all wounds?”
- Will I move toward “reconciliation” of my grief, or will I believe I must come to a complete “resolution” of my grief?
- Will I embrace my transformation from this loss, or will I keep trying to get my old self back?
- Will this loss add to my “divine spark,” or will it take away my life force?
This program will help anyone who is experiencing grief in their lives.
