How to cope with grief explored at Lifetree Café

Ways to cope with grief and find peace after loss will be discussed at Lifetree Café on Monday, Aug. 9, at 2 p.m.

The program, titled “Coping with Grief: Find Your Path to Peace,” features a filmed interview with Ken Doka, author of more than 20 books, including “Grieving Beyond Gender: Understanding the Ways Men and Woman Mourn.”

“It’s a common misunderstanding that grief follows a fairly predictable pattern,” says Doka. “But each of us has our own pathway; each of us takes our own journey as we grieve.”

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Snacks and beverages are available. Lifetree Café meets at Jalapeno’s Mexican Restaurant, 314 N. Second Ave., Sandpoint.
