Bereavement Ministry
Hope & Healing are possible after the death of a loved one.
Together, St. Joseph and St. Mary Parishes host GriefShare, a 13 week grief recovery support group. A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, 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 with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.
“GriefShare helps you understand that each person heals in their own way and time—and that’s okay.”
– Donna
GriefShare meets Thursdays from 6:30 - 8:00 PM
in the Upper Room at the St. Joseph Activity Center.
Our next GriefShare program will begin in August. All faiths are welcome!
