Keeping our attention softly inclusive of sorrow, allows the heart to remain open and receptive to the joys and tender mercies that abound. I hope to see you there.

Their kinship reminds us that there is no love that does not contain loss and no loss that is not a reminder of the love we carry for what we once held close. alone and together, death and loss affect us all."</font></h2><div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; ">For more information, go to <a title="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/love-loss-and-sorrow-the-holy-work-of-grief-tickets-19035382341" href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/love-loss-and-sorrow-the-holy-work-of-grief-tickets-19035382341">https://www.eventbrite.com/e/love-loss-and-sorrow-the-holy-work-of-grief-tickets-19035382341</a></div><div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; "> </div><div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; "> </div></div></div></div></div></div><img id="9b299031-6a7b-46c4-a7d4-0e5335fa88e8" height="960" width="754" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:8CD18084-2ECD-446A-8703-4A20B647E8B0@gateway.sonic.net"></body></html>
