“A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, 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.”

The weekly videos feature nationally respected grief experts and real-life stories of people, and the video is followed by a small group discussion about what was viewed. Past participants have related how helpful the information and follow-up discussions were to them. Of course, sharing is optional!

All materials for these sessions are provided by our church, with no cost to participants. Another plus of this program is that videos are also available online to rewatch or to watch if you miss a session. Dates will be posted and advertised when sessions are offered.

The two of us have each suffered loss of friends and family members throughout our lives. However, when we both became widows, we found ourselves looking to our “tribe” of friends to get us through the days. There is nothing like an understanding shoulder to lean on! We believe that God has led us to reach out to those who are grieving in our communities, offering friendship, solid counsel from experts, and a shoulder to lean on!
