GriefShare

What is GriefShare?

GriefShare is a support group program that offers a safe and confidential environment for individuals who are grieving the loss of a loved one. The program is based on a 13-week video series featuring grief recovery experts and real-life stories of people who have experienced loss. Each session includes a video presentation, group discussion, and personal study and reflection.

Who can attend GriefShare?
GriefShare is open to anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one, regardless of their religious beliefs or affiliations. The program is designed for individuals who are grieving the death of a spouse, child, parent, sibling, or other close relative or friend.

How does GriefShare help with grief recovery?
GriefShare provides a structured program that helps individuals understand the grief process and move through it in a healthy way. The program focuses on providing emotional support, education, and spiritual guidance to help individuals cope with their loss. Participants learn practical strategies for dealing with grief, such as journaling, prayer, and meditation, and have the opportunity to share their experiences and feelings with others who are going through similar struggles.

How is GriefShare different from other grief support groups?
GriefShare is unique in its faith-based approach to grief recovery. The program is grounded in Christian principles and teaches that God can provide comfort and healing during times of grief. However, the program is open to people of all faiths, and participants are encouraged to share their own beliefs and experiences.
