Although grief looks different for everyone\, self-care is often neglected. Self-care is important to maintain overall mental\, emotional\, and physical health. When traveling with children on an airplane\, parents and guardians are told to place the oxygen mask on themselves first and then assist the children. Traveling on a grief journey is very similar; we must take care of ourselves first. \n\n\nCaring for the Grieving Soul is open to all adults who have experienced any type of loss. Space is limited to 15 participants. Registered participants must be able to attend at least five out of the six sessions.  The course will meet on Thursdays from 1-3 p.m. in our Conference Room* starting on June 22\, 2023.  Meeting dates: 6/22\, 6/29\, 7/13\, 7/20\, 7/27\, and 8/3. \n(*Note\, conference room is located in the basement level and not handicap accessible).  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Click Here to Register URL:https://www.companionsonajourney.org/event/caring-for-the-grieving-soul-6-week-summer-grief-course/ LOCATION:OH END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230501T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230622T235900 DTSTAMP:20260406T172527 CREATED:20230516T170207Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230516T172222Z UID:232958-1682928000-1687478340@www.companionsonajourney.org SUMMARY:Treat YOURself Raffle DESCRIPTION:If you’ve seen the TV show ” Parks and Rec” then you know you it’s important to treat yourself from time to time!  Enter our raffle to win diamond earrings or a Gucci purse.  Tickets can be purchased until June 22nd.  Winners will be drawn on June 23rd! \nPurse is valued at $4\,600 and the earrings are valued at $3\,000.

It was important to them to be there for their mom\, COJ’s Founder and Executive Director Sheila Munafo-Kanoza\, who was their rock when their father Vince died in 1993. \n2021 also marked the 7th year for COJ’s golf outing. Originating as an idea of Mike’s\, he hoped to generate funding for COJ and to raise awareness of the importance and need for grief support. Together with family and friends\, the COJ Classic was born and has grown to become the largest single fundraising event benefiting COJ’s mission. \nAs ProLink celebrated 10 years of growth and COJ prepared to celebrate its 25th year of service\, COJ staff members believed it was a perfect time to offer Tony and Mike an opportunity to celebrate and honor their father\, by renaming the COJ Classic in his name. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Photos from the event\n\nPhoto credit: Michael Feldkamp Photography\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Vince Munafo Memorial Supporter’s Pledge \n\nOur goal is to pay it forward to all who grieve\,to give as generously as we can\, with what we have. To always remember that life is about the people and not the stuff!To remember and honor Vince’s legacy\, as he is the reason we all found our way here\, as true Companions on a Journey.
