Michigan Documentary
by Marika Zemke 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Many of us here in Michigan remember the horrific loss when Gary Weinstein's wife and two sons were killed by a drunk driver. Suffering loss and going through grief is a part of the human experience. There’s not one of us who will skate through life without having to cope with losing someone close to us. But sometimes that loss is sudden and horrifying. How can someone possibly climb back out of that pit of grief? That’s the question addressed in a new documentary called “Transforming Loss.” In it, we meet six Michigan families who have managed to triumph, transform, and grow, despite indescribable heartbreak. And they have lessons for each of us. Michigan filmmaker and licensed psychotherapist Judith Burdick, has produced a documentary that is both heart wrenching and hopeful. It's been on local PBS and will soon be on National PBS. The DVD is available to order below. http://transforminglossdocumentary.com/order-dvd-guide/ -- Marika Zemke - Adult Services Manager Commerce Township Community Library 2869 North Pontiac Trail Commerce Township, MI 48390 Direct Line 248-438-8163, Fax 248-669-3247 mzemke(a)commercelibrary.info
