Lessons from the Valley:
What we learn in Times of Loss
Some of our most valuable life lessons come from our struggle or heartache, as our journey takes us into the shadows of the valley. Ron Greer will be using the publication of his new book, The Quiet House: Reflections on the Loss of a Spouse, as a springboard to focus on the topic of grief - of how healing and restoration can come from engaging in the morning of our significant losses. The theme of this time together isn't about death and dying but life and living – living on, as we travel through the valley and then into the world that lies beyond.
