Holding on to Faith While Dealing With Loss — with Tori Parris and Christie Myers
Grief is an intimate, personal pain that is often hard to discuss, even years after loss. For some, grief begins before a loved one passes as we watch their health deteriorate before our eyes.

Tori offers words of comfort to those who are preparing for a loss, experiencing loss, or seeking to better understand the pain a loved one is going through. She provides suggestions for coping with grief as well as prayers that guide one spiritually through the grieving process.
