GriefShare is a friendly,
caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of
life’s most difficult experiences. You don’t have to go through
the grieving process alone.
GriefShare is led by people who understand what you are going
through and want to help. You’ll gain access to valuable resources to help you recover from your loss and look
forward to rebuilding your life.
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.
GriefShare meets
weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward
rebuilding your life. Each session has three distinct
elements:
VIDEO SEMINAR WITH
EXPERTS
Each week your
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.
WORKBOOK-BASED 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.
WHEN TO JOIN A
GRIEFSHARE GROUP
You are welcome to begin
attending the GriefShare group at any session. Each is
“self-contained,” so you do not have to attend in sequence. You
will find encouragement and help whenever you begin. You will be
able to continue with GriefShare through the next 13-week cycle
and view any of the videos you have not seen.
Call the church office
at (765) 455-1444 for the current schedule.
