GRIEFSHARE

Who should come, who should not

GriefShare® is for people grieving the death of a family member or friend.

We understand there are other losses in life we grieve, e.g. a job loss, divorce, estrangement from a child, or the loss of friends because of a move. This grief is real, but it’s not the kind discussed in GriefShare. We encourage you to ask our pastor or other church leaders about resources specific to your situation. 

How GriefShare® works

If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member or friend, you’ve probably found there are not many who understand the deep hurt you feel. This can be a confusing time when you feel isolated and have questions about things you’ve never faced before. GriefShare meets weekly for 13 weeks to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life.

Each GriefShare meeting has three distinct elements…

(1) Video seminar with experts

Each week your GriefShare group will watch a video seminar featuring top experts on grief and recovery subjects. These videos are produced in an interesting television-magazine format featuring expert interviews, real-life case studies, dramatic reenactments and on-location video.

(2) Support group discussion with focus

After viewing the video, you and other group members will spend time as a support group, discussing what was presented in that week’s video seminar and what is going on in your lives.

(3) Personal study and reflection

During the week you will have the opportunity to use your workbook for further personal study of the grieving process and to help sort out your emotions through journaling. Your group will spend time discussing questions and comments from the workbook study.

Next Session

Fall 2024

GriefShare® programs are presented in 13-week sessions. You’re welcome to begin attending the GriefShare group at any meeting. Each is “self-contained,” so you don’t have to attend in sequence. You will find encouragement and help whenever you begin.
