Lifetree Cafe: "Coping with Grief: Find Your Path to Peace"

Strategies for finding peace after a loss will be discussed at Lifetree Café on 611 Clark Ave, Thursday @ 7-8 PM.

The program, titled “Coping with Grief: Find Your Path to Peace,” features a filmed interview with Ken Doka, a grief counselor and author of more than 20 books, including Grieving Beyond Gender: Understanding the Ways Men and Woman Mourn.

“It’s a common misunderstanding that grief follows a fairly predictable pattern,” says Doka. “But each of us has our own pathway; each of us takes our own journey as we grieve.”

During the program, Lifetree Café participants will have the opportunity to discuss self-care strategies they’ve used during times of grief.
