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 them.

Erica and Sharon define what a min-session is and walk through the steps of what will take place when you call them.  The Sisters acknowledge that talking about grief and loss can be uncomfortable and painful, so they try their best to ease the fears of those who want to get on the phone with them.  Grief is more than just death and can be caused by over forty other known losses.  You can still schedule an appointment to talk with them even if you haven't experienced a death.

Erica and Sharon discuss how this simple question can stop a grieving parent in their tracks.  A grieving parent will struggle with answering this question because their first instinct is to always honor the relationship with their child that has passed away.  As a society, we're not taught how to talk about grief because it makes others uncomfortable so a grieving parent will put the comfort of others before themselves when answering this question.
