Walking with Joy ~ Loss & Grief Recovery… A Path to Hope and Peace.
Life can be messy and rarely turns out the way we plan. Sometimes that leads us to be depressed, hopeless or discouraged. Discover new skills to find your way out of the maze of life’s struggles and disappointments. Pain that is not transformed is transmitted. Walking with Joy helps you navigate the unexpected twists and turns of life so you can live a life full of joy and happiness.
For more than 50 years Joy has served churches, recovery facilities and para-church organizations here in the states and abroad. Since 2002, she has focused her attention on walking beside individuals who have experienced loss & grief. As a Certified Advanced Loss & Grief Recovery Specialist she offers Small Group Workshops and 1-on-1 sessions to help others discover a process to move beyond pain caused by death, divorce, loss or lifestyle change. Joy shares her experience, strength and hope so that others can find a path to hope and happiness as she did. She is passionate about enabling others to find their own healing path and begin living from a place of peace.
Joy has 2 married children, 5 “grand princesses,” one “grand prince” and a great-grandson. She loves traveling, reading, photography and taking “mystery rides” with her grandchildren and great-grandson.
