Register for Virtual Event to Learn How to Cope with Grief During COVID-19
PLANO, Texas, April 19, 2021 – Hope for the Heart is hosting a virtual symposium, “Grief & Loss: Coping Day-to-Day in Our COVID World,” on May 26 to provide biblical hope and practical help for the everyday challenges that come with grief.
Due to COVID-19, grief is rampant across the country. There is an urgent need to address the ever present sense of loss and despair that many are feeling. As grief is something that everyone has to walk through eventually, this webinar is widely relevant.
“We all need resources to become equipped on how to respond when those around us are hurting,” said Dr. Eric Scalise, Chief Strategy Officer for Hope for the Heart. “Learning what to say or what not to say and how to behave may be the most helpful thing we can do for those we care about.”
The virtual live steam will take place at 7:00 p.m. on May 26, and the discussion will be led by Hope for the Heart Founder June Hunt, along with Dr. Scalise. They will cover topics including how to help others who are grieving, practical steps for coping with loss, and common misconceptions and the stages of grief, among many others.
The live stream will benefit anyone who has experienced loss and is looking for hope and how to make sense of grief. It will also aid people struggling with pandemic related losses or individuals wanting to help others or gain biblical insight on loss and God’s plan through grief.
“The Bible offers guidance and teaches us many lessons on grief,” Hunt said. “Diving into God’s word gives us a resource to cope with loss in the healthiest possible way.”
The cost for the event is $19. Upon registration, attendees will also receive a free coupon code for an additional video course on grief. The video provides practical guidance and biblical insight on making sense of grief and processing emotions, while offering tips to help others move through the stages of grief with peace and hope.
