Losing A Spouse

COJ's Sheila Munafo-Kanoza was a guest speaker on a recent podcast with the Archdiocese of Cincinnati Office of Respect Life Ministries, speaking  losing her husband, Vince, to a brain tumor at a young age, and how she founded Companions on a Journey to help others deal with grief and loss.

When Someone You Love Dies From COVID-19

In partnership with Spring Grove Funeral Homes, COJ's Sheila Munafo-Kanoza and COJ's Ann Marie Kahwaty-Bogan created this webinar to offer support for those who have had a loved one die from COVID-19.  The grieving process of losing someone to COVID-19 is complicated and different from the normal grief process.

For many, these losses are sudden and unexpected. Factor in not being there in a loved one's time of need, not being able to communicate with family members in a natural way, not being able to say goodbye, not participating in normal rituals — all of this can make grieving more difficult and complicated. Coping with grief, especially when it is complicated by social isolation and trauma, takes time.

The Invisible String

COJ's Sheila Munafo-Kanoza shares this beautiful story about the unbreakable connections between us and our loved ones.  

The Invisible String  is written by Patrice Karst and illustrated by Joanne Lew-Vriethoff.
