How Grief Share 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. Grief Share meets weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life. Each Grief Share session has three distinct elements:
1) Video Seminar with Experts
Each week your Grief Share 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.
2) Support Group Discussion
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.
3) Personal Study & 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 Grief Share
You are welcome to begin attending the Grief Share 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 Grief Share through the next 13-week cycle and view any of the videos you have not seen.
When Grief Share is Held
Thirteen week Grief Share sessions are scheduled several times throughout the year, and meetings are usually held on Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. at the church.
