Understanding Grief

This is another book we go over and written by Alan Wolfelt - he understands how to work with grieving mothers and fathers. He has written many books about grief.
This book goes over 10  Touchstones of Grief and these touchstones we cover in all the modules of our 7 module course.

"Becoming a Certified Sorrowful Doula has been the best decision...I had been seeking a pro-life course and this is about the only one out there that respects life and does not suggest abortion in the course!" Jenni P.
