Grieving and mourning are important parts of healing and learning to adjust to life when loss, transition, or death occurs. First and foremost, it is important to recognize your feelings, give yourself time and space to mourn in healthy ways, and take care of yourself after a loss. ELCA Coaching has a cadre of professional grief coaches that can accompany you on this journey.
For congregationally-based grief (including leadership transitions, mergers, yoking, and holy closure) we also recommend the rich library of resources collected by our friends at ELCA Grief and Transition Resources.

Empowering Leaders who Power the Church
Coaching cohorts commit to four weeks of self-exploration around race relations. We will reflect on our personal story and its impact on race relations. Participants will commit to providing a safe and brave space to share and listen to each other’s story. Through honest dialogue we gain insight and awareness, are open to growth, and greater understanding of our own racism.
