Biannual Grief Seminars
Featuring Dr. Rita Esterly Ph.D.
For over 30 years, our family has hosted special Grief Seminars prior to important holiday seasons. You might recall hearing about our annual seminar, “Getting Through the Holidays,” which has helped generations of grieving families navigate those difficult moments celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas and other holidays without a loved one. Within the past couple of years, we have found it beneficial to hold an additional seminar in the spring, just in time for Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Memorial Day.
These biannual seminars are presented by Rita Esterly, Ph. D., private practice psychologist and author of Time to Mend. Through these difficult times, it’s important to stay connected and support one another. Together, we can manage our grief and find healing.
Stay tuned to our website and Facebook pages as we provide more information on these events.
