Centerpiece October 10, 2017 A quarterly newsletter of the Center for Loss & Life Transition. Our Mission The mission of the Center for Loss and Life Transition is to support grieving children, teens, adults, and families as they mourn the deaths that transform their lives. We believe in "companioning" not "treating" people in grief. We also believe that a healing environment is one that encourages both "soul work" and "spirit work" and facilitates the mourner's search for meaning in the transformative experiences of death, grief, and loss. Shipping now! Get it before it hits bookstores! For most of us, life is way too hectic. We feel scattered and distracted. We're busy rushing from one required activity to the next, and when we have a few moments of downtime, we're often glued to our electronics. Is this what life is really all about? Learn to slow down and live more mindfully with this daily companion. In one brief entry for each day of the calendar year, Dr. Wolfelt offers small, day-at-a-time doses of wisdom and practical guidance. Each entry includes an inspiring or soothing quote followed by a short discussion of the day's theme as well as a succinct mantra to return to throughout the day.
