Grief share
A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through the group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.
What is Grief Share?
If you’ve have lost someone in your past a GriefShare support group may be something you want to consider. Groups meet for 13 weeks, and we offer them two times a year, in the spring and fall. Currently our GriefShare groups are meeting online through Zoom.

Sunday, February 18th from 5:30 - 7pm we will be starting a new GriefShare group. Whether you’ve attended a GriefShare before or not we invite you to join us if this is something that would be helpful to you.
About Grief Share
Each week there is a 30-minute video featuring respected experts on grief-related topics and helpful stories from people who have experienced loss. Their insights will help you manage your emotions, gain clarity, and find answers to your questions as you walk through the grief process. Participants are encouraged to view the videos on their own prior to the group meeting.
During the meeting the group will spend time discussing what was presented in that week’s video and what is going on in your lives. Talking with other people who understand what you’re experiencing brings great comfort, normalizes the grief experience, and offers a supportive environment to work through your grief.
There is also a participant guide which serves as a road map on your grief journey. This book helps you process your emotions and experiences and cope with the loss. You’ll apply what you’ve heard in the group and gain tools to deal with complicated grief.
Participants are encouraged to attend as many of the 13-week group meetings as possible but can join at any time. We ask all participants to commit to meet for at least 3 weeks, and then decide if it is for them or not.
