Talk on 30/4/2022: Understanding the suffering of miscarriage and transformation of life
Join our Online Talk Series on the Integrative Body-Mind-Spirit Wellness
Understanding the Suffering of Miscarriage and Transformation of Life
Content
When the parents lost their unborn children, their hope suddenly turned into despair and their body, mind, and spirit were greatly affected. The suffering is usually indescribable. In this talk, Rev. Dominic Chan Chi-Ming and Venerable Shi Chuan Deng will lead us to re-think about the meaning behind the suffering and explore the possibilities of transformation from the perspectives of Catholicism and Buddhism respectively. We hope that the talk will bring comfort and peace for those who’ve suffered, and regain the holistic wellbeing.
