by a Court Chaplain
Jenny was referred to the Court Chaplains by her solicitor to undertake the Positive Living Skills Program. When we first met Jenny she was an angry aggressive woman looking at going to gaol.
We gradually started to work through the sessions. Eventually, Jenny came to the sixth session on Grief and Loss. She completed the life line and the list of major things she had lost in her life. There to her amazement there were a phenomenal 44 major losses in her life ranging from the death of her parents to the death of two of her children and even the removal of three of her children. This woman of 44 years was carrying around so much “junk “in her life as she called it.
The Chaplain took four sessions to work through the Grief and Loss workbook and then went back to again look at the Anger module as it now had greater significance for Jenny. Jenny went on to finish the program yet what was most significant to all who knew her was the amazing transformation.
