GriefShare

How GriefShare Works

It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right now. If you have lost a spouse, child, family member or friend, you have 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 have never faced before. Our GriefShare group meets weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life.

Each GriefShare session has three distinct elements:

1.    Video Seminar With Experts

Each week our GriefShare group watches a video seminar featuring top experts on grief and recovery subjects. These videos are produced in an interesting-to-watch television magazine format featuring expert interviews, real-life case studies, dramatic reenactments and on-location video.

2.    Support Group Discussion With Focus

After viewing the video, you and the other group members will spend time as a support group, discussing what was presented in that week’s video seminar and what is going on in your lives.

3.    Workbook-Based Personal Study and Reflection

During the week you will have the opportunity to use your workbook for further personal study of the grieving process and to help sort out your emotions through journaling. Your group will spend time discussing questions and comments from the workbook study.

When to Join a GriefShare Group

You are welcome to begin attending the GriefShare group any time during the 13 week cycle. Each session is “self-contained,” so you do not have to attend in sequence. You will find encouragement and help whenever you begin. You will be able to continue with GriefShare through the next 13-week cycle and view any of the videos you have not seen.
