We are so sorry for your loss. Grief is unique and we recognize that no one can fully know the pain you are experiencing. We are praying for you.

Please allow us to walk with you on your grief journey. GriefShare is a safe place for you to process your emotions and thoughts. Walking with others who have experienced grief can help you make progress on your journey. You are welcome here.

Typically we have 10-15 people in GriefShare. Losses vary. Most evenings we watch a video together and then break into smaller groups to process the content. We end by 8:30pm.

We know it is very hard to visit a grief support group. Please try. If you visit, you will be warmly welcomed. You don't have to share; you can just observe. We care about you and want you to feel safe and loved.

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