Griefshare Weekly
Support Gathering
Begins Tuesday, August 25 • 7:00 PM
It hurts to lose someone – find help at Griefshare. You don’t have to go through the grieving process alone. 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. Griefshare is a 13-week support group led by people who understand what you are going through and want to help. You’ll gain access to valuable Griefshare resources to help you recover from your loss and look forward to rebuilding your life.
Griefshare begins on Tuesday, August 25 – November 17 at 7:00 PM. The class will meet in FC 209/210. We are asking for a $20 love offering to help cover the cost of materials. You can register below, and if you have any questions, please reach out to Jessica Clifford.
