You don’t have to go through the grieving process alone.
GriefShare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. GriefShare is led by people who understand what you are going through and want to help. You’ll gain access to valuable GriefShare resources to help you recover from your loss and look forward to rebuilding your life. You are welcome to join any session, as each session is “self-contained,” so you don’t have to attend in sequence.
