Those who have experienced the death of a family member or friend are invited to attend the 13-week GriefShare program at Shreve Community Church on Thursdays from Jan. 11 through April 11.
Those who have experienced the death of a family member or friend are invited to attend the GriefShare program at Shreve Community Church, 430 N. Main St., Shreve.
Sessions will be held from 7-8:30 p.m. each Thursday from Jan. 11 through April 11. Weekly sessions are self-contained, and participants are welcome to join at any point in the 13-week cycle. Missed sessions can be picked up in the next 13-week cycle.
Many grieving people find they are only beginning the work of healing when friends or family have returned to their daily life routines. Individuals who have participated in GriefShare have related how helpful the information and follow-up discussions were to them.
A bereavement experience may be recent or not so recent. Participants will find encouragement, comfort and help in grieving the death of a spouse, child, parent, sibling, other family member or friend. No matter what the cause of a loved one’s death, this is an opportunity to be around people who understand. Those attending will learn how to recognize the symptoms of being stuck in grief; they will learn about facing a new normal in life.
GriefShare is a nondenominational program featuring Christ-centered, biblical teachings that focus on grief topics associated with the death of a loved one. The DVD seminar features nationally respected grief experts and real-life stories, followed by a small group discussion. The cost is $20 to cover the cost of the book, and scholarships are available.
