GriefShare Support Group

GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through a 13-week study, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since 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. This group meets Wednesday evenings from 6:00 - 8:00 PM in the West Fellowship Hall. 

  • Videos that encourage

    Navigating loss and grief through a support group. Each weekly GriefShare group begins with a 30-minute video featuring respected experts on grief-related topics and helpful stories from people who have experienced loss. Their insights will help you manage your emotions, gain clarity, and find answers to your questions as you walk through the grief process. 

  • Supportive discussions

    After the video, you and the other group members will spend time discussing what was presented in the video and what is going on in your lives. Talking with other people who understand what you're experiencing brings great comfort, normalizes the grief experience, and offers a supportive environment to work through your grief. 

  • Helpful book to guide you

    Your participant guide serves as a road map on your grief journey. This book helps you process your emotions and experiences and cope with the loss. You'll apply what you've heard in the group and gain tools to deal with complicated grief. 

  • What's covered? - Featured Topics

    While everyone's response to loss is unique, people facing loss and grief will experience many of the same challenges. The weekly GriefShare topics address these common struggles-providing valuable tips, encouragement, and direction.
