The Philadelphia Tribune<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen Imani Badey\u2019s knows what trauma is about: Her oldest son got shot when he was just 22. A few years later, a second son was shot in Philadelphia. She has been homeless, and she has overcome. Now she is a patient care coordinator for the North Philadelphia-based Black Women\u2019s Health Alliance of Philadelphia, helping others to make it through difficulties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So does, Dora Perez: Her son Luiz committed suicide in 2010. Now she and her husband counsel grieving parents, through the Sicklerville, N.J.-based Mending Hearts Ministry. Her husband recently started \u201cMen-Restored After Loss\u201d that helps provide hope and support to grieving fathers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Badey, Perez and nearly 600 other registrants, walk-ins and Facebook-live participants, gathered for the 16th Annual Faith and Spiritual Affairs Conference at the DoubleTree Hotel in Center City on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
