On Sun, Feb 22, 10 AM, Wes Davis will present a sermon entitled “Being Your Own Best Grief Counselor” for the Unitarian Universalists of the Chester River, 914 Gateway Dr., Chestertown.
Dr. Stegman explains, “Most of us have faced the deaths of significant loved ones throughout our lifetimes, triggering profound grief. As we age, our losses will increase, yet unfortunately death does not get easier with practice. And, even after time, we never “get over” someone’s death, but with work we can learn what it takes to move forward in a healthy way while still honoring those persons we lost. This talk will focus on factors that will help the bereavement process as well as those that impede.”
Dr. Stegman has lectured extensively throughout the United States, in Europe, Japan, and Africa. For many years she taught Psychology of Women, Psychology of Aging, and Psychology of Death, Dying and Bereavement. Her first novel, A Gold-Mended Life, about aging and death, was published in 2013.
This presentation is informative, uplifting and empowering. From her vast experience Dr. Stegman shares ways we can tap into our own strength and resourcefulness when most vulnerable. Her words will stay with you long after the service.
Religious programs for children and youth will be available, as well as childcare for infants and toddlers. Please call 410-778-3440 for more information.
