Kate Ford Roberts, a nurse & co-founder of Hospice Care, and Judy Koeppl, Director of the Hospice Bereavement Program, were invited by the Capuchin priests living at San Damiano to develop a grief counseling center on the first floor of the house. Over the years (1992-2015), there were 6 counselors providing holistic therapy at The Center for Life & Loss Integration. Read Judy’s memories of San Damiano by clicking on the link above.
