1 audio cassette

Item consists of 1 audio cassette featuring a talk given at l'Arche Renewal retreat events from June 22 - August 23, 1988.

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: Many things have moulded our perception of death as a society and underpin how we react to loss. Next we will look at grief and look at my lay perspective on a Christian response to suffering and death. There's a lot you can do during an illness that can prepare the people left behind. It's been said that only people who have avoided love can avoid grief. The point is to learn from grief and remain vulnerable to love. We all experience loss. It's been shown clearly that no matter what kind of loss it is, our reaction is essentially similar.
