Shownotes
When Andrea started her journey of grief many years ago, she found she needed to talk to others who had experienced loss. After attending local hospice groups that were helpful, she realized something was missing, as most bereavement groups she found didn't include the aspect of faith. Over the years she was blessed to connect with others who share a grief faith story. And because of this she met two beautiful women who came into her life who also felt the same way and took the call to help others in need of grief support.

Translation of Cleo’s message from Spanish to English
"For all the souls who are listening to us, if you find yourself in a moment of grief and loss, try to reach out to your pastor at your parish to start a grief and loss group, because we all suffer pain at some point. Do not be afraid, ask the Holy Spirit and the Trinity to help you focus and start a group to help yourself. Life is for the glory of our Lord, to live life, not to live it in what they call sadness.”
Leave that to the devil, not to God. Thank you, my love."
