Our special Holiday edition of Healing Ties features the soothing words of Author and Psychotherapist Loren Gelberg-Goff.
Loren shares her story about losing her husband and son this year, while finding comfort in remembering them during the Holidays. When life transitions, recognizing our grief and talking about our love for the person you are missing, is one of the steps in our healing process that helps you take back your life.
No matter what faith base you are coming from, the Holiday Season is intended to be a joyful time for everyone. This is an upbeat conversation, filled with real life stories, about a taboo topic that is often swept under the table.
Listen in and learn how Loren Gelberg-Goff is creating Healing Ties all around us!
Happy Holidays everyone!
Healing Ties
Beyond Caregiving...How do care?
How do we care for our family, friends, and the strangers we meet? How do we care for the community we live in?
How do we heal the physical, social, financial, spiritual aspects of our life and the lives of those around us?
We do this by creating Healing Ties!
By sharing their stories with host Christopher MacLellan, our guests reveal how they are creating Healing Ties in their community by their words, actions, and deeds.
