GRIEFSHARE

YOUR JOURNEY FROM MOURNING TO JOY

It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right now.  If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member or friend, you’ve probably found that there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel.

That’s the reason for GriefShare, a special seminar and support group for people griving the loss of someone close.  This group is sponsored by people who understand what you are experiencing and want to offer you comfort and encouragement during this difficult time.

Each GriefShare session includes a video seminar and group discussion.  A GriefShare workbook assists you with note taking, journaling and grief study.  The videos feature top experts on grief recovery, dramatic reenactments about living with grief and real-life stories of people who have experienced losses like yours.

During the small group discussion time, you’ll have the opportunity to interact with others who have experienced a recent loss, learn about their experiences and share your own.

GriefShare features biblical teaching on grief and recovery topics.  You are welcome to begin attending the GriefShare group at any session.  Each is “self-contained,” so you do not have to attend in sequence.  You will find encouragement and help whenever you begin.  You will be able to continue with GriefShare through the next cycle and view any of the videos you have not seen.
