“As a counselor I work with many people healing from painful life experiences.  Whether the loss is the death of someone loved, the loss of a relationship, an abortion, a background of abuse, loss of self-esteem, health, hopes or dreams, I find each loss asks its turn to be mourned.  The journey of healing is one of grieving and making peace.”                       (Cont.)
