La Pérdida de un ser querido es una de las transiciones más difíciles y desafiantes de la vida especialmente en los últimos años que han sido dolorosos para muchos. Algunos pudieron haber experimentado múltiples perdidas, y es un desafío el recuperarse.
La Comunidad de San Juan Vianney ofrece este taller sobre las etapas del duelo y la pérdida, donde oramos unos por otros, escuchamos y compartimos nuestras pérdidas, y entendemos que no estamos solos, que nuestras experiencias, pensamientos y emociones son compartidas.
Nuestro próximo taller el sábado 20 de septiembre de 2025, de 9:00 a. m. a 12:00 p. m. se presentará en inglés.
