The Hard Work of Grief: Becoming a Companion on the
Wilderness Journey
Speaker: DeeDee Haines, D. Min, M. Div Interim Healthcare
Grief is the human response to loss. Throughout our lives everyone experiences loss of loved ones, hopes and dreams, relationships, jobs,
and more. There is a shift in our current cultural context in how we understand the best way to be
present with someone who is grieving. Join us to learn about a new model of grief
support known as “companioning” and how this method of support can be embraced as a
healing and comforting presence for those who are grieving.
