New London to begin GriefShare meetings Aug. 28

No matter what the circumstances, grief can be a painful, confusing process. A GriefShare group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. At this 13-week support group program, 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.

At each weekly meeting, you will view a video featuring respected counselors, pastors, and healthcare professionals on grief-related topics, plus you’ll hear relatable personal stories of grief. After that is a small-group discussion to allow people time to talk, share support, and personally apply what they learned on the video. Everyone will receive a book to take home filled with valuable exercises for navigating their personal grieving process.

Meetings take place each Wednesday, beginning Aug. 28, lasting from 6-7:30 pm. The cost for taking part in the GriefShare support group is $20 which accounts for the cost of the book. Please join us at New London Christian Church, 2770 New London Rd, New London, IA.
