reading and journaling about loss and mourning
(10 weeks)
The ten-week course, taught by Allegra Wong, begins to explore the mourning
process and helps participants define the seasons of grief. Through reading
some of the literature of mourning and through journaling (guided exercises),
loss is confronted in relationships, current events, and also in the stages
of human life. http://www.writers.com/allegrawong.htm

Needs You! Now you can make a donation to Mrs. Duck through our non-profit
umbrella organization M.I.S.S.. We at KotaPress believe so whole-heartedly
in the work of M.I.S.S. that we house the Seattle chapter's web information
in our Loss section and we
offer them our office space as a base for the Seattle chapter. You can
support the Mrs. Duck Project thru SeattleM.I.S.S. which is the Seattle,
WA, local chapter for the national non-profit org M.I.S.S.ing (Mission
for Infant Survival & Stillbirth In Natural Grieving/ Mothers In Sympathy
& Support).
M.I.S.S. recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)3 with a tax ID number. The
national office is physically located in Arizona, and the website is hosted
at www.MissChildren.org.
If you wish to support the Mrs. Duck Project, you can send a check or
money order donation to the SeattleM.I.S.S. group with a note asking that
that funds be earmarked for Mrs. Duck. They will use 80% of the donation
to fund the making of more Mrs. Duck books which we give away free. 10%
will go toward the local chapter so they can continue offering free support
group meetings, one-on-one crisis help, and mailing outreach literature.
And the last 10% will go to the national office to support their outreach
and the medical research that is happening about stillbirth at The Pregnancy
Institute. The SeattleM.I.S.S. is registered with the state of Washington
Charities Programs. For more information, please feel free to email
