Let’s find out how to be aware of what is happening during these challenging times and what we can do to help ourselves to not just survive, but to thrive.
Join us on Thursday, June 15th as Donna shares from her own experiences as well as others whom she has walked alongside.

Donna recently published a new book in the form of a guided journal called, “A Journal for Your Journey: A Trip Without Regard to the Amount of Time It Takes”. Donna’s knowledge of grief and loss was born out of her own life experiences. She educates others as she shares her story in grief support groups, women’s groups, churches, schools and business settings.

Attendees will have the chance to listen to Donna share about her own story of overcoming loss and how this fostered her passion of helping others. Donna will share insights to help you navigate various types of grieving and loss in life resulting from the death of a loved one, health issues, loss of a job, loss of independence, broken dreams, future plans and other life events.
