Funeral services can be challenging for those who've lost loved ones to suicide. Melanie Nord is a pastor at First United Methodist Church in Manhattan, and also works with families and funeral homes, to bring messages of hope and faith to those that are mourning. In this episode, Melanie shares how she constructs her messages for these services.
Melanie's video blog "Slow Spirit Sanctuary" can be found on Facebook.
“P.A.C.T.” is an acronym for “Prevention, Awareness, Compassion, Training.” It’s a collaborative effort with the Flint Hills Volunteer Center, the Kansas Health Foundation, AmeriCorps Seniors, and the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation.
