GriefShare Support Groups at BEAUTIFUL SAVIOR CHURCH

GRIEFSHARE at BEAUTIFUL SAVIOR CHURCH begins Monday, March 10, from 5:30-7pm.  

GriefShare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk
alongside you through one of life’s most difficult
experiences. Nationally acclaimed GriefShare sessions offer valuable information and resources in a safe place among supportive people
who understand
 what it
means to lose someone close
.

Every participant receives a helpful workbook to use during their 13-weeks 
of healing
; $15 donation covers the cost of these materials.  Open to
the public, everyone is welcome to attend.


Anyone can join these small group meetings any week; there is no requirement that you had to start the
series from the very first session.

Safe, confidential
conversations include sharing
your situation, listening to others’ experiences through their grief journey, and discussing options

for dealing with current emotions which affect your daily activities.  
  
  • Trained facilitators lead participants in
    review of questions from the prior week’s session.
  • Then we watch one approx 25-30 minute DVD video
    featuring expert grief counselors on a specific topic.  
  • After the video we chat in small group formats about that video topic and how we’ve handled those emotions, situations, etc..
  • Additional resources are shared for further reading for those interested in learning more. 
  • We close with prayer requests.
