Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, WA (OPENPRESS) Michelle Frost, a registered nurse who has worked with ill children and teaches resiliency techniques, will be the keynote speaker at Providence Hospice of Seattle's 16th annual Pediatric Luncheon on Thursday, Oct. 1, 2015.

A life coach and former Seattle Children's Hospital nurse whose daughter survived leukemia, Frost will speak on "Wrestling with Sorrow: The Intersection of Personal and Professional Experience."

KING-5 TV news anchor Mark Wright will emcee the luncheon. Proceeds will benefit Providence Hospice of Seattle's children's hospice and palliative care program and children's grief support program.

"Grieving and terminally ill children throughout King County have benefitted from care over the last 15 years because of this meaningful event," said Gary Crum, director of the Providence Hospice of Seattle Foundation. "We look forward to seeing this year's lunch continue this important legacy."

Doors open for the event at 11:30 a.m. and the program begins promptly at noon at the Washington State Convention Center, 800 Convention Place, in Seattle. Participants will not be charged for lunch, but a $150 donation is requested. Funds raised will be used to help seriously ill and grieving children get the care they deserve, regardless of their financial circumstances.

To register for the event, go to http://www.providence.org/luncheon. For more information, contact Jill Perry at jill.perry@providence.org or 206-749-7956.

About Michelle Frost:
Michelle Frost is a registered nurse, Certified Professional Coach, Master Practitioner in Energy Leadership and owner of Resiliency Coaching, LLC. With more than three decades of experience, she has devoted her career to serving patients, in particular children with life-threatening illnesses and the families who love them.

Through her work in these areas, as well as her personal experience as a childhood cancer survivor's mother and the daughter of parents who each had Alzheimer's disease, Frost shares her perspective with clients.
