GriefShare is a safe, welcoming support group that helps people navigate through loss and grief. Through this 13-week group, group members will receive care as they work together through the difficult emotions of grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, the group will explore helpful ways of coping with grief in all its unpredictability and gain solid support each step of the way. GriefShare will cover topics such as loneliness, fear, anger, regrets, relationships, and hope. Whether you have experienced a recent loss or are processing through grief from years ago, GriefShare welcomes you to find comfort here. GriefShare will meet Wednesdays, June 3-September 2 from 7-9P in the Hospitality Suite. Register at griefshare.org; enter our zip code: 20759 and you will see Grace Community Church. At registration you will pay $20 for the cost of a workbook; there are no other fees. Registrants may drop in any week as they can repeat the sessions they miss.
