About The Session
We will explore the journey of Hope over the course of a life-limiting diagnosis with a short scenic drive through hopelessness. In the illness journey, hope and hopelessness are intertwined inter-twined, often unrecognized or given little credit. By understanding this connection, we can better support others in their journey of life and grief.
