griefshare

grief & loss support groups

This group is for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. 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. To get signed up and for more information please click the location below.

For those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. This group is a 13-week study on how to heal from and manage grief.  This group helps you apply biblical principles to the healing process after the death of a loved one. You don’t have to navigate this season alone.

Anyone who is experiencing grief.

GriefShare is free and some locations also offer childcare.
