No matter how bad it may be, there are times we must make the most of our situation. This past year, the pandemic has left many of us trying to make sense of a range of loss and grief.  To help you deal with the many different types of loss you and your family may have experienced over the past year, UK Family and Consumer Sciences Extension presents, Living with Loss: Playing the Hand You Are Dealt.  This series acknowledges loss and provides tips to help us play the hand we have been dealt so we can move forward with hope and healing.   

This seven-part series begins with a kick-off event Living with Loss: Healing with Hope on Tuesday evening, April 20 at 7:00 pm (EDT).  This session is presented by Dr. Ted Bowman, an internationally recognized speaker, educator, author and consultant. In this interactive session, participants will explore a framework for loss, which includes shattered dreams.

Each Thursday morning at 11:00 am (EDT) April 22-May 27, will follow with a webinar on a related topic, presented by our Extension Specialists and other featured guests.  The line-up includes:
