    The death of a sibling is not only painful, but it can often be quite lonely. People seem more comfortable in knowing what to say if the loss is a spouse or a child. The journey of grief is in itself unique, but Sean. A Journey of Hope through Grief is for those who are feeling the pain of losing a sibling but do not know who to turn to or what to expect.

    Kila takes you through her journey of grief and brings hope and faith with her. The ongoing impact of her brothers death in a car accident was so immense that she felt the need to share her experience with others who are going through a similar journey.

    If you have struggled to connect with others after the death of a sibling, or know someone who is, Sean. A Journey of Hope through Grief will give the support, encouragement, and hope that even though it may be dark now, joy will come, and you are not alone.

      What Are You Really Crying About?

      Jun 14, 2020

      — “I love to cry — as long as it’s not about my life.” It was a simple statement, a line I’ve said a thousand times before. But when your dad is a shrink — like mine — you never know where a conversation might take you.  A few months ago I was visiti

      Pre-show

      "All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages."
