Johns Creek UMC partnered with Summit Counseling Center to lead a panel discussion on “Hope in the Midst of Loss”. In this unprecedented time, our normal is no longer normal. Loss has taken on many new shapes and forms. Some of us have experienced the loss of a friend or family member and find ourselves grieving without the support of our community due to social distancing. Others are experiencing the loss or disruption of our jobs, social isolation, and moreover the loss of a “normal routine” as we knew it. Join our partners at The Summit for a discussion on recognizing our loss, processing our grief and practicing self-care moving forward.
