Mourning Hope to Host National Grief Expert Jack Jordan

The Mourning Hope Grief Center (mourninghope.org), in partnership with HoriSun Hospice Community Foundation, Southeast Community College, the Lincoln/Lancaster County LOSS Team, and the Lincoln/Lancaster County Suicide Prevention Coalition, is excited to welcome Jack Jordan, Ph.D., to lead two seminars in the Lincoln community. Jack is a licensed psychologist who has worked with survivors of suicide and other traumatic losses for more than 45 years.

“Grief After Suicide: Finding Hope and Healing” will be held on Monday, March 23, 6:30 p.m. at Southwood Lutheran Church. Attendees will learn the factors that contribute to suicide, the impact of bereavement on individuals and the family, some of the myths of grief recovery, things that survivors can do to help themselves, and when to seek professional help. This workshop is appropriate for those grieving the loss of someone to suicide, those who wish to support a grieving survivor, and for professional caregivers such as therapists and clergy who are working with suicide loss survivors. This event is free and open to the public, but pre-registration is required due to limited seating. To register, visit mourninghope.org/newsandevents.
