How to Cope With Grief Explored at Lifetree Café

Strategies for finding peace after a loss will be discussed at Lifetree Café on Thursday, August 17th from 7:00 – 8:00 p.m.

The program, titled “Coping with Grief: Find Your Path to Peace,” features a filmed interview with Ken Doka, a grief counselor and author of more than 20 books, including Grieving Beyond Gender: Understanding the Ways Men and Woman Mourn.

“It’s a common misunderstanding that grief follows a fairly predictable pattern,” says Doka. “But each of us has our own pathway; each of us takes our own journey as we grieve.”

During the program, Lifetree Café participants will have the opportunity to discuss self-care strategies they’ve used during times of grief.

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located at the Bachwell Center, 116 N. Washington Street, Van Wert, OH. Please enter on Court Street and park behind the Courthouse.
