Grief is a very complicated, difficult, and long term emotion to deal with. Griefshare is a nationwide Christian program that consists of videos, workbooks, and group discussions on how to deal with the loss of a loved one. The sessions last about an hour and a half to two hours and consists of reviewing and discussing the 13 different videos you will be watching that provide information about Comfort, Answers, and Hope as it relates to Grief. The workbook that goes with the program allows for additional individual work during the week. Please understand that these course materials are made available at no cost to you and that if you find the Griefshare program to not be for you, please understand that there is no problem in stopping. Also, this will be the 5th year that the Griefshare team from St. Patrick's will be directing the program.


Meeting schedule

You are encouraged to join us on any week. Sessions are self-contained.
