Thank you Holland Village Methodist Church for inviting us to speak on grief and how to extend compassion to those among us who grieve! ❤️🩹
Thanks too for your very encouraging feedback!
“Our church invited Whispering Hope to help our leaders and members understand the nature of loss, and how to extend compassion in times of loss.
We did this session over Zoom and received great feedback from our participants! They found the session helpful and insightful.
Our members now have a better understanding of loss, what the normal grief process looks like, what to say and what not to say — so as to better support those who go through life’s transitions and curved balls.
We are pleased to recommend Whispering Hope as a resource partner in equipping the church to be more compassionate.”
- Women’s Society of Christian Service (WSCS) committee, Holland Village Methodist Church
The Lunar New Year festivities revolve around welcoming abundance and prosperity, but let’s not forget that there are those among us who carry a heavy burden of grief over their financial losses.
Singaporeans have lost than S$1 billion to scammers over 5 years. That’s a lot 😳😳 and that’s not even counting the amount lost through stock market crashes, or failed business ventures.
People who suffer financial loss often hide their grief behind a shroud of shame and silence.
Whispering Hope specialises in the Grief Recovery Method, which has proven to be very helpful and relevant for individuals who have suffered financial loss.
Why suffer in silence, or prolong the pain? Get in touch with someone who understands grief and loss. Help is only a click away! >> www.whisperinghope.sg
