As you rebuild your life after the loss of your loved one, you’ll want to be sure that you are building on a solid foundation, one that supports you no matter what lies ahead.

Throughout the GriefShare program, you will hear people talking about the importance of a relationship with Jesus Christ in healing from the deep pain of grief. In fact, you will hear it said that you cannot fully heal from grief without the power of Christ in your life.

Please read the information on these pages carefully. It will show you how to have a relationship with Jesus Christ and how this relationship can make a real difference in your life as you heal from your loss.

You tend to “orbit” around certain people, things or events in your life. They are the relationships, possessions and circumstances you value most. They give meaning to life and bring joy to you.

Here are some examples:

• Husband or wife
• Job
• Children
• Financial resources
• Favorite activities
• Houses, cars and possessions
• Friends
• Health

Take a minute and list the people or things that your life revolves around. It may be one thing or a combination of items.
