A Grief Recovery Support Group
GriefShare is offered twice a year, once in the fall and again in the spring. Please contact the church office 447-0100 for specific dates and times.
Our next session is offered:
Sundays, 3:30-5:30 p.m.
February 1 - May 3, 2009*
GriefShare provides an understanding, supportive environment for people grieving the loss of someone close. GriefShare is led by people who have experienced the deep hurt of losing a loved one - such as a spouse, child, sibling or parent. The series is also beneficial for individuals who may encounter those who are grieving.
Each GriefShare session includes a video featuring experts on grief and recovery subjects, as well as real-life stories of people who have experienced loss. Support group discussion follows during which participants have the opportunity to share their own experiences, if they desire.
GriefShare topics include:
- The Uniqueness of Grief, Part 1 :Living With Grief
- The Uniqueness of Grief, Part 2: The Journey of Grief
- The Effects of Grief: God's Prescription for Grief
- When Your Spouse Dies: Stuck In Grief
- Top 20 Lessons of Grief, Part 1: Your Family and Grief
- Top 20 Lessons of Grief, Part 2: Why?
- Heaven
There is no cost for participants. However, pre-registration is requested so that adequate preparations can be made. Participants may attend any time during the 13-week program.
Feel free to share this information with anyone who might benefit from the program. Past participants, whether grieving a recent loss, or one more distant, have praised the program for its healing effect. Detailed brochures are available from St. Mark's.
