GriefShare

Helping people find comfort after the loss of a loved one. 

Need help dealing with grief?

Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, at GriefShare, you’re invited to learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.

No matter what the circumstances, grief is a painful process. This GriefShare grief support group is for people dealing with the death of a family member or friend. GriefShare is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Over 13 weeks, you’ll find relief and comfort as you learn what to expect in the days ahead and how to navigate your personal grief process.

Topics include how to manage grief-related emotions such as loneliness, anxiety, sadness, anger, and regret; how to cope with the changes in your life and relationships; how to recognize what’s normal in grief: and what to do if you feel stuck or hopeless.

You can learn more at griefshare.org.

GriefShare runs twice a year. Check back here for updates and to register.

What happens at GriefShare?

GriefShare begins with a 30-minute video featuring respected experts on grief-related topics and helpful stories from people who have experienced loss.

After the video, group members spend time discussing what was presented in the video and what is going on in your lives.

Talking with others who understand what you’re experiencing brings great comfort, normalizes the grief experience, and offers a supportive environment to work through your grief.
