“Grief comes in waves like weather systems in our emotional atmosphere, bringing a multitude of feelings that can loop back, evolve, rear up in no particular order and that change over time. Don’t expect grief to have an endpoint.”

Past acclaimed speakers/authors include Rabbi Harold S. Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People and Judy Collins, folk singer and author of Sanity and Grace - A Journey of Suicide Survival and Strength.

The Historic Hotel Bethlehem has offered a complimentary appetizer to guests with the purchase of an entree on the evening of the lecture.  Just show your ticket when you arrive. Reservations for dinner are recommended, call 1-855-264-2598.
