Event Details
Grief is not a problem to solve. Like plants, it has seasons—times of dormancy, wild growth, deep roots, and fragile shoots. Planting your grief means placing what hurts into the soil with care rather than burying it in silence. You water it with honesty, patience, and compassion and understanding that some days it will lie dormant and other days it will push up unexpectedly. Grief doesn’t disappear—it grows into something that can coexist with new roots.
Dorothy McElroy is a Grief Support Specialist and Coach, A End of Life Coach and Doula, and a Peer support specialist. dorothy is head coach at The Dancing Arrow Club, grief therapy through archery and President of Worldwide Dragon Shooting Day Inc.
Dorothy enjoys reading, hiking, playing and listening to music, working on writing her own book, and making all kinds of art. She has bad thumbs though, so when it comes to yarn maybe someone can teach her how to crochet or knit. Many have tried and failed.
