A Grief Share group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. At this 13-week support group program, since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, participants will learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.
Philippi Christian Church in Deltaville will offer the Grief Share program every Saturday at 10 a.m., beginning Feb. 3. It will be led by the Rev. Nell Bagby-Robinson, with assistance from trained lay leaders, all of whom have experienced grief in their own lives, and found their way to joy through faith.
