A message from our new Director, Geralyn Nathe-Evans:

I want to begin my introduction by telling you how honored I am to begin my service with The Grief Project. My journey to this place is woven with pain and happiness, hope, loss and healing.

I have been very blessed with a grand life and torn apart by great loss. My beloved husband of 34 years, 10 months and 8 hours died in my arms on June 4th, 2014. I am Dave’s wife (widow), the mom to Michael, Matthew and Luke, their three wonderful wives and significant others, Ralee, Bibi and Marijane, and the sweetest granddaughter, Aurora.

My journey to become the person I am today has included my first education as a nurse and then completing a Master’s degree in Pastoral Ministry. During these times I have worked in parish ministry which led me to studying for 6 years under Dr. Alan Wolfelt. I completed my certification in Death and Grief Education in 2004. The most significant learning in my journey, has come from those who have entrusted their lives and shared their stories with me. My education and training were an incredible foundation for hope and healing when my beloved husband died.

The Grief Project was and continues to be an incredible healing presence for my life. The day I attended my first gathering was a day of welcome and connection with a community that has forever changed my life.

I look forward to this next place on my journey, our journey. I am honored and humbled and so very excited to meet many more of you as we journey together. While I am sorry for you loss, I am glad you are here…I hope you find this to be a safe home.

Geralyn
