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 through death, 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 death 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 DVD seminar featuring top experts on grief and recovery subjects. These DVD's also include on-location DVD and real-life stories of people who have experienced losses like yours.
After viewing the DVD, you'll participate in a small group discussion about what you've seen on the DVD. 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.
There is also the help of a workbook which has an outline of each DVD so you can take notes. It also has daily devotions which will encourage you with scripture during the week.
GriefShare is a nondenominational grief group and features Biblical teaching on grief and recovery topics. Our next GriefShare session will begin September 13th, 2010, from 6:00-8:00 pm at the church; watch for a sign up sheet in the church foyer or call the church office, 748-5639. These are thirteen week sessions, and if you are able to give a suggested donation of $15 towards the workbook, it would be appreciated.
