This weekend in Riverhead, NY

At Word of Truth Church, this faith-centered seminar explores the many forms loss can take and how it touches emotions, spirit, mind, and body. Led by Denise Schwabe, a holistic health coach and author of From Grief to Grace, the program blends her personal story of multiple losses, including the deaths of both a daughter and a son, with practical guidance for caring for the body in difficult seasons. Conversation includes recognizing different kinds of grief, understanding its effects on overall well-being, simple self-care practices, and biblical encouragement with tools for the path ahead. Participants can expect nourishing food and healthy refreshments, time for fellowship, helpful resources, giveaways, and opportunities for prayer and encouragement. It is open to anyone affected by loss, whether recent or long ago. Registration is requested, and the focus is on finding comfort and strength in Christ, echoing the promise of Matthew 5:4.
