Live, Laugh, Lament - Making space for grief and God

Making space for grief and God: What does it mean when Jesus says, "blessed are those who mourn"? What is the difference between grief and mourning? This workshop will look at different methods to process grief and look at how scripture gives us permission to experience our humanness in lament. This workshop will not just address death loss, but will acknowledge different forms of loss.

About Daisy & Adriane

Adriane is a companion for the dying and grieving, or in fancy terms, a Certified Thanatologist Pastoral Specialist. She cares for those experiencing hard realities in life by making space for them to just be. She wants to share the whole spectrum of life with youth and enjoys analysing case studies of loss in anime to do that. Currently, Adriane is learning how to hold both celebration and mourning together. She loves her two cats, even though one of them is a food-stealing gremlin.
