The Five Gates of Grief

Over the Course of our lives, grief enters our hearts in many ways. Most of us are familiar with the grief involved in the loss of someone or something we love. Too often, the other “gates” of grief are left unattended. We experience the loss but often struggle to express our feelings, even to ourselves, related to these losses and the sorrow we feel.

During this program, we will explore the complexity of grief and the impact of our modern culture on our ability to process our grief in a way that allows us to grow rather than sink into sadness. Each participant will have time for reflection and an opportunity to meet with a WVIS spiritual director to process the material of the day. Learn more
