Grief Support Group 

When we lose a loved one by death, we are wounded.  Just as a wound does, we need to heal from within, to express out thoughts and feelings, even when they seem crazy.  We need to recognize that "crazy" is normal.

Knowing this will not lessen your grief, but it may help your healing to begin.  A support group is a safe haven where we can talk, cry, share our anger, guilt, and fears with those who understand and care. 

Grief, like a wound takes time to heal.  A support group is to the grieving like a healing salve is to a wound; it soothes and comforts us while we heal. 

We are here to offer information, to listen, to share feelings, and to support one another. Some topice that are touched upon are:

• God's Prescription for Grief
• The Effects of Grief
• Your Family and Grief
• Why?
• The Uniqueness of Grief
• Stuck in Grief

What to Expect

• No predetermined actions or feelings
• A nonjudgmental, supportive, and caring atmosphere
• Confidentiality
• Prayer for you and others
• Sharing stories of loved ones

You may join the group at any time

 

 Classes are designed in such a manner that your first time will seem like the beginning. We stand ready to assist you on your journey from mourning to joy. You need not walk alone.
