speaking engagements

Joy Bishop is one of the leading voices in the Midwest in grief counseling.

Bringing her experience (licensed therapist – MSW, LSCSW, Compassionate Bereavement Care Certification, Death and Grief Studies Certification and Compassionate Bereavement Care Certification), she is a compelling speaker to those dealing with grief, but also to all of us on how to make sure we don’t regret the questions not asked and the love not shared. Tomorrow is promised to no one, and Joy encourages those attending her engagements to find their own voice to avoid “not saying it” until it’s too late.

A leading professional in the field of grief and loss with 30 years of experience, she is the author of the book My Gift to You, a guide to bringing comfort through knowledge when you or your loved one are facing death.

There’s nothing Joy enjoys more than making a real connection in people’s lives by inspiring them to find a higher path of communication.

Joy is available for public and private speaking engagements.

Joy has recently spoken at a variety of engagements, including:

  • Community event talk with The Deathwives group in Colorado
  • Moderator at the Kansas Book Festival
  • A My Story Series talk at Rosewood Event Center
  • Hillsboro Public Library talk on grief and loss, and discussion of My Gift to You (Joy’s book)
  • Seminars on “Grief and Loss” for several funeral homes in Kansas and Missouri
  • The Kansas Community Health Worker Symposium at Wichita State
  • Groups of healthcare workers on “Grief and Loss,” as well as managing loss as a hospice worker
