Sharon and Erica discuss the differences between their program and a faith based program.  They share that this is an educational program designed to meet any individual where they are at in their faith or even if they don't believe.  Grief is a personal journey and everyone deserves the freedom to explore their relationship with their higher power on their own time and in their own way.  It is not uncommon for grievers to be angry at their higher power and blame the cause of their loss on their higher power.
