GriefShare group to meet
After the funeral, when the cards and flowers have stopped coming, most of the people around you return to their normal lives. But your grief continues and you feel alone. Often, friends and family want to help you, but they don’t know how. That’s the reason for GriefShare.
The group is led by caring people who have experienced grief and successfully rebuilt their lives.
We want to walk with you on the path through grief toward healing and hope for the future.
Participants are invited to the group that meets from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesdays through April 10.
There is a $15 registration fee for the cost of the book. Scholarships are available.
