Living with Loss

With Ian and Carol Moore

Inevitably, loss is something that affects us all and yet we often find that we are ill-prepared to deal with its consequences.  This loss can take many forms, e.g. bereavement, divorce, separation, identity, freedom, faith, hope, confidence, well-being...  It is an untrodden path in which it’s only too easy to compound our distress through unhelpful coping mechanisms.  During the day we will seek to understand the personal, emotional journey.  We will look at how its possible to get 'stuck', and importantly how we can grow through loss and become better equipped for life.  We will consider how we can overcome obstacles and ‘let go’ while holding onto positive memories.  In essence, Living with Loss attempts to lift us above loss rather than letting it dominate our lives.

Ian and Carol bring a wealth of experience through over 30 years in pastoral ministry and prison chaplaincy.  They passionately believe that loss need not be your master but rather it can be your character builder.
