WALKING BESIDE MINISTRY Think of a time when you really felt cared for. Chances are someone focused on what you had to say, was attentive to your needs, and listened to how you felt instead of telling you how you should feel or what you should do. Our Walking Beside Ministry is a ministry of listening. Listening is one of the most powerful ministry tools at our disposal. It demonstrates that you care about the other person. It’s listening in such a way as to be able to feel what someone else is truly feeling. Would you like to have a good listener sit with you for a while? If so, contact Pastor Brett, Pastor Jim, or any one of our team members. Laurann Cook Barb Conti Joe Gilleland Steve Haver Moon Kahn

Information from DHPC Congregational Nurse, Mary Kay Thurston… Registration is Now Open for
Duet’s Virtual Family Caregiver Event “Guilt, Grief and Guideposts: A Conversation with Dr. Pauline Boss & Kathy Ritchie” Wednesday, October 27, 2021, 9:00-11:30 am
Kathy Ritchie “Next Avenue” Health and Caregiving Editor
Back by popular demand – Dr. Pauline Boss and Kathy Ritchie return for Duet’s Virtual Family Caregiver Event. Whether you are a family caregiver or a professional, this truly will be a memorable learning experience. Dr. Boss will share ideas from her latest book, The Myth of Closure: Ambiguous Loss in a Time of Pandemic and Change (to be released in November 2021 by W.W. Norton). She will discuss guilt, grief, and the added ambiguity from COVID-19 that caused loved ones to die alone – and mourners to grieve alone. She will explain why feelings of guilt are likely to be part of a caregiver’s normal grief process, and she will offer guideposts for resilience and moving forward despite ambiguous loss. Journalist Kathy Ritchie has appeared with Dr. Boss in past Duet symposiums. The synergy between the two has resonated with the hundreds who have registered for past events. Ms. Ritchie has reported extensively on multiple aspects of caregiving. AARP Arizona State Director Dana Kennedy will moderate the discussion. Participants will have an opportunity to submit questions during the presentation to be answered by Dr. Boss and Ms. Ritchie. Free of charge for family caregivers. $15 per person for professionals. Register at www.duetaz.org/symposium
Pauline Boss, PhD Family therapist, pioneer theorist of ambiguous loss, and author of “Loving Someone Who Has Dementia”
