“A significant part of the Center for Loss’ mission is grief education. The workshops I present across North America each year educate thousands about healthy grief and mourning. It’s a privilege to be involved in this important work.“But is is the workshop sponsor who makes these educational opportunities possible. Without their support, the Center for Loss could never reach so many people or touch so many lives.

“I look forward to working with and meeting you.” — Dr. Alan Wolfelt
