GriefShare—your journey from mourning to joy
If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you’ve probably found that there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel.
That’s the reason for GriefShare, a special seminar and support group for people grieving the loss of someone close. This group is sponsored by people who understand what you are experiencing and want to offer you comfort and encouragement during this difficult time.
Each GriefShare session includes a video seminar featuring top experts on grief and recovery subjects. These videos also include on-location video and the real-life stories of people who have experienced losses like yours.
After viewing the video, you’ll participate in a small group discussion about what you’ve seen on the tape. You’ll also have the opportunity to interact with others who have experienced a recent loss, learn about their experiences and have the opportunity to share your own.
GriefShare is a non-denominational group and features Biblical teaching on grief and recovery topics. Please join us for the next GriefShare session.
Good Shepherd offers GriefShare sessions year-round. We meet on Monday evenings from 7 PM to 9 PM. Please check the calendar for the current schedule.
The sessions are:
Session 1 When Your Dreams Fall Apart Session 2 The Seasons of Grief Session 3 Emotions of Grief I Session 4 Emotions of Grief II Session 5 When your Spouse Dies Session 6 Your Family and Grief Session 7 Where is God? Session 8 Your Greatest Resource Session 9 Stuck in Grief or Moving On Session 10 Growing Through Grief Session 11 Grief Recovery Tool Kit Session 12 God’s Spiritual Hospital Session 13 Longing for Heaven
All sessions are held at Good Shepherd. Contact the church office (302-478-3030)
When to begin: You are welcome to begin attending the GriefShare group at any session. Each session is self-contained so that 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 session and to view any of the videos you have not seen.
