Synopsis:
Surviving the Sorrow
Storms
As a pastor, it is necessary to understand
the complexity of human need during a time of loss. During Brookhaven's
February Minister's Luncheon, Marcia Howland, Community Resources Coordinator
for Odyssey Health Care, discussed how the loss of a loved one affects
the family unit and how pastoral staff can aid in moments of need. Practical
application and group exercises were included in Marcia's thorough talk.
Her message was received well by Tulsa area Pastors and clergy; many
stated that the information Marcia provided was vital for Pastor's that
provide encouragement to so many in times of grief.
