What is GriefShare?
GriefShare is a biblically based support group where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. You will learn that what you are feeling is “normal” and that there are no neat, orderly stages of grief. You’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way. We are offering a couple of one-time courses like "Loss of a Spouse" and “Surviving the Holidays" that seek to help in these specific circumstances or times of year. The 13-week Mourning to Joy program is the core program. It will help you put “guardrails" on your grief, which can be very confusing. The discussion time will help you know that you are not alone as you meet others experiencing similar struggles. If you are struggling with grief, consider coming to GriefShare. If you know of someone who could benefit, please invite them, and consider attending with them the first couple of times until they feel comfortable in the group.
I have questions.
