We welcome all who have experienced a death of a spouse, child, family member or dear friend. Don't go through your grief without the support of loving, Christian friendships. Journey from mourning to JOY. Peace and Pain can coexist.

Our group will be meeting on Mondays, beginning on August 26, 2024 and continuing until November 18, 2024. Please contact leader Gretchen Zitterich to ask any questions you may have about the support group or for help with the group signup.

The program includes three weekly components: weekly video seminars, group discussion, and home workbook personal study exercises to reinforce the weekly session topics. You will be encouraged to consider writing in a journal to express private thoughts, fears, and joys.

P.S. Preregistration is required to participate in the GriefShare program, for the purposes of providing adequate supplies and seating arrangements.
