THE CARE YOU NEED. INFORMATION YOU CAN TRUST.

GriefShare is a faith-based bereavement support group offering biblically sound help and encouragement after the death of a spouse, child, family member, or friend. Each week’s format includes supportive discussion about the weekly video content, and a workbook with journaling and suggestions for personal study to reinforce weekly session topics. The program is offered in more than 20,000 churches of every denomination in every English-speaking country throughout the world.

If you have recently experienced the death of a loved one, or even if your loss took place some time ago but you are now realizing that you could use support as you process it, you are welcome to try GriefShare. GriefShare offers the encouragement of interpersonal support and the strengthening of practical, biblically sound tools as you travel on your path toward healing. Past participants have shared that they have no idea where they would be in their grieving process if they had not had the support, tools and encouragement of GriefShare.

GriefShare: Loss of a Spouse
Immediately prior to beginning our 13-week program, we will gather for the two-hour GriefShare: Loss of a Spouse program on Sunday, September 8, in the Christ Chapel Café.

13-week GriefShare Program
Beginning Sunday, September 15 and running until December 8, the Fall 2024 session meets on Sunday, 12-2 p.m., in the Christ Chapel Café. We check in with each other for the first 15 minutes, then open with a devotion, Scripture, and prayer. We review journaling completed during the week; and conduct our weekly Object Lesson. Then we watch the 40-minute video session together as a group, discuss what stood out the most to each of us in the video, and look ahead to journaling prompts for the coming week.

Once participants register for either program with our group on the GriefShare.org website, they may order the applicable workbook directly from GriefShare. For more information, contact Christ Chapel’s GriefShare Ministry Coordinator Sue Granniss (860) 913-1654

We look forward to meeting with you, praying with you, and supporting you on your journey from mourning to joy.
