Hey family, this is Pastor Torrey. I pray that you're doing well. I'm excited about where

we're going today, what we're going to talk about today. We're going to talk about how

to bounce back from grief. You might be thinking, I'm not going through grief. Well, the reality

of it is everybody experiences grief sometimes and it's something that we don't get to escape.

And the boy equipped we are to deal with it, the better off we are. I'm sitting down with

you know, for her living or career is to to counsel others and she does that and to help and support

others. And yet real life happens even to those of us who are charged and even trained

to help others. And so again, my condolences, it's difficult. How have you been managing?

Oh, definitely getting a lot of support from the one family. Just eating when I'm serving,

I always tell them that I feel like I'm being fed because it's something about knowing you're not alone.

Even in my job, it's one of my positions is very fairly new for the new role I'm taking on.
