When I arrived I felt tired, nervous, confused about what today would be like. So blessed that I came. Karen is a wonderful speaker. I loved her words and language. I felt she was talking “to me” not to the group. I learned so much about my life and not being scared about my future.

I came today hopeful that I would learn new information on the grieving process and I have. This will make my grieving process much easier.

I arrived feeling both excited and scared that I wouldn’t fine someone or a group that understood me. I am so happy that Guardian Angels led our table of women together today.

Today I felt very unsure to come to the Gathering. I am leaving happy to have come. I met new friends and exchanged stories and experiences.

When I came today I felt nervous and apprehensive and I am leaving feeling exhausted but hopeful for the future.

I arrived eager to hear what Karen offered; vulnerable in my fears; hoping (to learn) new ways to “process” grief. I depart eager to explore in greater depth some the prompts and concepts and challenged to better understand “my story”.
