GRIEF SHARE (weekly meetings)
Grief Share is a 13-week seminar led by a group of friendly, caring people who understand what you are going through and want to walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences.
Each week your group will watch a video seminar on DVD. The GriefShare videos cover topics essential to your recovery from the hurt of grief and loss.
