GriefShare is a faith based and confidential group setting, where people find support and help following the death of a loved one. There is no timeline or recipe for managing grief. Everyone is welcome to attend, no matter if the death of a spouse, child, or other family member, friend or coworker, occurred 20 days ago or 20 years ago.

You may be thinking, “I don’t want to share my feelings in a group setting.” The decision to share is yours, and we believe that you’ll benefit from the brief videos that are shown and listening to the discussion.

GriefShare at St. Bonaventure Parish begins on Monday, Sept. 16th, from 6-8pm and lasts for 13 weeks, co-facilitated by Linda Manross and Kim Racine. Kim is a Franciscan spiritual director studying trauma and ministry at Fordham with 20 yrs of catechesis and homebound ministry experience. Linda, a LMHC with experience leading groups, has worked in the field of human services, assisting people of all abilities, for more than 40 yrs.
