Honesty, truthfulness, trustworthiness, humility are exemplary
human characteristics which connote moral integrity. Such
character traits are not ephemeral — a product of the mind — but are inborn: in
a word, providential.
We alone bear responsibility for honouring these moral
imperatives. Thus do we honour as well ourself, our fellow-man and our very
humanity.

“…moral integrity…”
With the *Spring Bereavement Education Program
workshop completed, forty participants received their certificates!
As one of the volunteers, during the two weekends,
I was privileged to get to know the participants and meet the presenters.
Some participants are from Parish Bereavement Teams, Health Care facilities,
and some are on their grief journey. The presenters are professionals who
work and teach in Health Care specializing in Responses to Grief & Loss;
Self Care; Anticipatory Loss & Grief; Suicide & Sudden Loss; Children’s
Grief & Loss; and Spirituality in Loss.
The participant’s shared how much they appreciated
the compassion, honesty, integrity, truthfulness, personal stories and
knowledge of the presenters. The closing celebration is always joyful,
emotional and so worthwhile ! blw
