GriefShare begins again Sept. 5

Community members who have experienced the death of a family member or friend may be searching for support in navigating through a season of grief. All are invited attend the fall session of GriefShare, a grief support program beginning Thursday, Sept. 5. This non denominational program features Christ-centered, biblical teaching that focuses on topics associated with the death of a loved one. The DVD seminar features nationally respected grief experts and real-life stories of people, followed by a small group discussion about what was presented on the DVD.
Many grieving people find they have only begun the work of healing when friends and family have returned to their daily life routines. Past participants have related how helpful the information and follow up discussions were to them.
Your bereavement experience may be recent or not so recent. You will find encouragement, comfort and help in grieving the death of a spouse, child, parent, other family member or friend. No matter what the cause of your loved one’s death, this is an opportunity to be around people who understand what you are feeling. You will learn how to recognize the symptoms of being stuck in grief and that you do not need to live in bondage to certain emotions. Lastly, you will learn valuable information about facing your new normal in life & renewing your hope for the future.
GriefShare will begin Sept. 5, at Calvary Baptist Church in Mexia at 519 S. McKinney St. Two time options are available to accommodate most schedules; 10 to 11:30 a.m. and 6:30 to 8 p.m. Entrance is located at the back of the building where signs will direct you. GriefShare is free and open to the public. Come join us and begin your season of healing.
