Those who are called to be spiritual caregivers are better equipped to help others process grief when they have worked through their own pain and loss. From a biblical and practical perspective, this seminar will allow the learner to identify some of the following:  the dynamics of grief and loss; the ability to articulate one’s own journey with grief, loss and bereavement; experience and understand grief as a process towards healing and wholeness.
