Grief can present itself in many ways aside from losing someone we love to death. From the loss of identity to the loss of hopes and dreams for the future, grief is not isolated to death. Separation can also be its own type of grief. Whether the separation is intentional or not, it can prove difficult for even those with the strongest faith. But what about those who are not only cut off from loved ones like friends and family? How is it different, for example, for those cut off from society? How can they still be ministered to in a way that still gives them a sense of the dignity they deserve as a human being?
Our Guest
Deacon Greg Orf has been ordained in the Archdiocese of Atlanta for 8 years. He has served as a chaplain in the Gilmer County Sheriff's department and is engaged with the GA Depart of Corrections to start a Catholic presence in Phillips State Prison as a new endeavor.
