The Healing Ministry Task Group warmly invite you to attend two seminars in February focussing on the subject of bereavement with guest speakers, The Rev’d Charles Amoah and Yvonne Holman from St Nicholas Hospice.  These seminars are designed for everyone who has an interest in this particular subject – the first session is about the terminally ill and the pastoral care needed for both them and their loved ones; the second is specifically about children’s bereavement both as a child who has been bereaved or family members affected by the loss of a child.   The whole area of bereavement can be a difficult and sensitive one however, we are sure that both Charles and Yvonne will provide a very helpful and informative session that will equip us all with a deeper understanding.
