Did you miss our Therapeutic Thursday segment last week? LCSW, John Norris presented a powerful reminder that grief and loss affect each of us in different ways and at a variety of times and intensity levels. Thank you for putting into perspective how vital it is to address our feelings and to call on a professional when needed. Getting counseling for and with those you know who are experiencing pain can make a world of difference. Click below for a recap!
