NEED HELP DEALING WITH GRIEF?

At any one of our classes, you’ll receive valuable guidance and tips, leading you to relief, comfort, and peace of mind. While everyone’s response to loss is unique, people facing loss and grief will experience many of the same challenges. We partner with GriefShare.org to offer classes with topics that address these common struggles—providing valuable tips, encouragement, and direction.

UPCOMING CLASSES:

Loss of a Spouse
Tuesday, October 27

Losing a spouse is like losing a part of yourself. Your husband or wife was your partner. Your confidante. Your best friend. The person you turned to in good times and bad. You faced the world side by side, and now your spouse is gone. You wonder how it’s possible to go on. We understand what you’re going through and want to assure you that you’re not alone.

At Loss of a Spouse, you'll discover:

Ways to Make It Through

Why It Won't Always Hurt so Much

Your mom was your champion, the glue in your family, the one you called to share every detail of your day. Now she’s gone and you feel lonely, abandoned, and deeply sad. You may even feel jealous of others who still have their moms. What you’re experiencing is normal. Experiencing the death of your mom causes feelings of pain that are unlike any other loss—and Remembering Mom was created to address this unique grief.

Support and Encouragement for Your Grief  Journey

After the funeral, when the cards and flowers have stopped coming, most of the people around you return to their normal lives. But your grief continues and you feel alone.

Often, friends and family want to help you, but don't know how. Our group is led by caring people who have experienced grief and have successfully rebuilt their lives. We understand how you feel because we've been in the same place. We will walk with you on the long path through grief toward healing and hope for the future.

ABOUT

Our facilitators walk with you through the GriefShare program. Used by over 15,000 churches worldwide, this nondenominational program features biblical concepts for healing from your grief.

WHAT TO EXPECT

We'll watch encouraging, information-packed videos featuring leading grief recovery experts and participate in group discussions about the weekly video content. There will also be journaling and personal study exercises that reinforce the weekly session topics.

WHEN TO BEGIN

You are welcome to begin attending our Grief Support Group at any point during the current program. Each session is "self-contained," so you do not have to attend in sequence. You will be able to pick up any sessions you missed in our 13-week cycle.

PROGRAM SCHEDULE

When in session, our Grief Support Group will meet Tuesdays at 6:00PM.
