Join Richard Olson as he leads this service, entitled "Ordinary Loss." Throughout our lives we all face many losses. Some are minor but seem major at the time. Other times, these losses are traumatic and lead to acute grief. We need to grieve, and we do so in many ways; it is a healthy process. What is unhealthy though, is when we allow our grief to be heavier than the actual loss. In this service, Richard shares intimate stories of grief and loss in his own life, as well as on a larger scale.
Please note: If discussion of suicide is a sensitive topic, please skip from 27:22 - 31:06.
Today's Order of Service.
