We all experience loss and so do our students. Some loss is “ordinary,” like the loss that comes when we change jobs, move, or marry. Some loss is “extraordinary,” like losing someone we love, or finding out we have cancer. Loss changes us. We can go the way of the world and ignore, minimize, or numb out to the things that hurt us, or we can find ways to grieve honestly, openly, and creatively. Loss can connect us more deeply with God, others, and ourselves. We will explore spiritual practices that allow us to say “yes” to God in all that life brings.
