Griefshare & Surviving the Holidays
At this time of year, grieving the loss of a loved one can be especially difficult. It's important to have resources, and Griefshare can help. Their goal is to walk along side you in your grief process so that you don't have to go through it alone, and so you understand what's going on. Reactions to grief are individual, and can also be unexpected.
Griefshare is a Christian nonprofit organization, local, as well as being international, and there are thousands of groups all around the world, primarily at churches. (It's important to note that, although there are many types of loss, their focus is on the death of a loved one.)
It's simple to find a group in your area, as well as to learn more about how the groups function:
Although most groups started in September, and won't open until January, there are Surviving the Holidays seminars in a number of local churches. For $5, you can attend a two hour seminar plus receive a copy of the Griefshare/Surviving the Holidays guidebook:
