Lo Anne Mayer, Uma Girish and Daniela I. Norris, from different countries and cultures (the United States, Israel and Canada, and India) discovered their commonality when each lost a loved one. United by the universal language of grief, they felt called to share their message and help others heal by forming the International Grief Council. On September 28, from 1 to 3pm, they’ll address a gathering at Georgian Court University—Room 202 in the Farley Center, Lakewood Avenue, Lakewood, and on September 30, 1 to 3pm, at Villa Walsh Academy—455 Western Avenue, Morristown—on “The Healing Power of Grief” in which each will speak for 30 minutes and hold a 30-minute Q&A session. Space is limited and registration is required. To register for the Georgian Court event, email Sachiko Komagata, PT., Ph.D., at [email protected] or Lo Anne Mayer at [email protected]; for the Villa Walsh talk, email Lo Anne Mayer at [email protected].
