Lifetree Cafe: "Enough Already! When Bad Things Keep Happening"

How to cope when it seems nothing is going right will be explored at Lifetree Café on 611 Clark Ave, Thursday @ 7-8 PM.

The program, titled “Enough Already! When Bad Things Keep Happening,” includes a filmed interview with a woman who has experienced a string of disasters—and yet found a way to move forward. Over several years she has lost two children, a husband, and her house.

“I got a phone call in the middle of the afternoon at work saying my house was on fire,” the woman says. “I flew out of the office, not really believing what had happened. I got to our house, and flames were coming out of the roof.”

During the program, participants will have an opportunity to discuss times they’ve faced misfortune in their own lives and how they managed it.
