Welcome to Our Lady of Sorrows Bereavement course:

7 Marian Modules

This class includes 7 Marian modules based on  Seven Sorrows of Mary
I wrote a book on Bereavement called "Hope Thru Sorrow" this book will be included if choosing with book option.
The Joyce Rupp Sorrow book is optional - you can ask us for link if you wish to read.
My book is the only one we can include* - you will need to purchase other books listed in other columns - you can possibly get digital versions on Amazon or Nook Barnes and Noble.
Thank you.
*Note my book will take up to 3 weeks to get to you - I can send digital version if doing live training and that way you have access during the class.  

Required book: Empty Arms: Hope and Support for Those Who Have Suffered a Miscarriage, Stillbirth, or Tubal Pregnancy by Pam Vandervelt

Contents of this book includes: "Shocking News", "Dealing with Anger," "Husbands Hurt Too", "Untying  Guilt Knots", and more.
​We actually start with dads in the first module and how to help dads grieve as well.
Mary's Seven Sorrows: We go thru in each of the 7 modules! Mary's Seven sorrows include:
Simeon's Prophecy
Flight into Egypt
Jesus Lost in the Temple
Jesus Meets Mary on the way of the cross
Jesus Dies on the Cross (Mary is given to us as our Mother)
Jesus is Taken Down from the Cross and placed in Mary's arms
Jesus is Buried 

Understanding Grief Book: Stepping Stones to Grief by Alan Wolfelt Required book

This book is a general book on grief so it can be used also for anyone who has lost a loved one. It goes over some misconceptions of grief to understanding grief better and to know that there is not always a rhythm  or order to grief (some other books try to make things in a particular order).
There is one journaling book "Grieving the Child You Never Knew"   that we had included in the past - but I am making all of that extra credit as we do not have a way to get that book free anymore.

Live Training for May-June - we hope to start a training in mid-May - contact us at catholicdoulaprogram@gmail.com for details. Most likely meet on Mondays or Tuesdays - though to be determined. Thanks. Start date May 16-17.

What Students are saying about this course: 
"It is well thought out course invoking Mary as patron of the bereaved. Highly recommend this doula course. "  J.B.
"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.
