Your Journey from Mourning to Joy
GriefShare is a grief
recovery support group open to those that are recovering from the
loss of a spouse, child, family member or friend.
How GriefShare Works:
It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right
now. If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member or friend,
you’ve probably found there are not many people who understand the
deep hurt you feel. This can be a confusing time when you feel
isolated and have many questions about things you’ve never faced
before. Our GriefShare group will meet weekly to help you face
these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life. Each
GriefShare session has three distinct elements:
Video Seminar with Experts:
Each week our GriefShare group will watch a video seminar
featuring top experts on grief and recovery subjects. These videos
are produced in an interesting-to-watch television magazine format
featuring expert interviews, real-life case studies, dramatic
reenactments and on-location video.
Support Group Discussion with Focus:
After viewing the video, you and the 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.
Weekly Topics include:
Week 1 - Living with Grief
Week 2 - The Journey of Grief
Week 3 - The Effects of Grief
Week 4 - When Your Spouse Dies
Week 5 - Your Family and Grief
Week 6 - Why?
Week 7 - The Uniqueness of Grief, Pt. 1
