 As the holidays season approaches, Main Street Church of Cross is set to host a transformative grief workshop led by Dean Miller, a minister with over four decades of experience and a dedicated author focusing on grief. I'm really excited about coming to Pikeville, Kentucky. We are going to be conducting a grief workshop and the reason that we're doing this is because people experience loss and loss is what causes grief. The workshop, tailored for individuals coping with various forms of loss, aims to provide solace during the often challenging holiday season. There are a lot of things that can cause us to grieve. Those things are things that we lose, that we feel have value. And when we lose things of value, the human experience is we grieve the cause of that. And we're either going to grieve when that happens, when the loss happens, we're going to begin grieving, or we're going to grieve later. We're going to grieve though. It's a whole lot better to grieve early on. The Main Street Church of Cross, located in downtown Pikeville, welcomes participants to join these sessions free of charge December 1st through 3rd. Grief is something that we just have to deal with if we're going to be functional people. Just like we have times of joy, we are going to have times of grief. We live in a broken, fallen world, bad stuff happens, awful, inexplicable, horrific things are experienced sometimes by bad people and by good people. And it doesn't matter about your character, the reality is you're going to suffer loss. And when we suffer loss, the best thing to do is to understand how to deal with it.
