Hope in Our Community!
When a life-threatening illness affected Buffy Swineheart’s father, her family was prepared for the medical challenges, but not the emotional trauma that followed. His behavior became confusing, and the family feared they were losing the man they knew and loved. A friend encouraged them to seek counseling at Pastoral Institute. Within just a few sessions, Buffy’s father began speaking, interacting, and behaving like himself again. “Even though my dad’s prognosis was grim, we had him back,” Buffy shared. “Counseling made our last days with him so very sweet.”
