The Language of Loss - Putting Grief into Words
August 16, 2026
1:00 - 3:30 pm
Woodmont Christian Church
Grief comes in many different ways. In this hands-on workshop you will put pen to paper to enhance healing and growth in your grief journey.
Grief hits you hard and often out of the blue. Just when you think you are finally moving forward, grief comes again and takes your breath away. Losing a loved one, getting divorced, being downsized at work, growing older, letting go of a dream—any loss can leave us speechless. Throw world events, economic uncertainty, and environmental turmoil into the mix and grief is a natural response. All of a sudden the language we’ve relied on for years isn't enough to express our anger, soothe our sadness, or calm our confusion.
Join us as we welcome Amy Lyles Wilson to the Center for Hope & Healing to lead us through a time of expressing and beginning to heal our grief through the written word. You don't need to be a “real writer” to join us, and critique is not a part of the process. (You won’t even be compelled to read your work aloud!) This isn’t therapy, but putting pen to paper does enhance our healing, allows us to bear witness to the human condition, and draws us closer to God.
