Over 13 weeks, GriefShare shows participants how to access the hope, help and healing that God offers. Here’s how it works:
Participants attend 13 video seminar/discussion sessions
Participants meet for 13 weekly GriefShare sessions. Each session features helpful, comforting videos and encouraging group discussion. A typical meeting looks a lot like this:
Participants view a 30–40 minute video. The video features the insights of the Christian community’s top grief recovery experts. It also presents the stories, reflections and advice of those who’ve healed from the grief of bereavement.
Group discussion. Participants talk with one another about what they’ve seen in the video. They also explain how their daily GriefShare workbook exercises are helping them see their situation from God’s perspective. During the discussion, group members also share the challenges they’re facing and victories they’re experiencing.
Participants use the GriefShare workbook
Each GriefShare participant receives a workbook. This workbook helps participants sort their thoughts and emotions and helps them discover what God says about their situation. Each workbook contains daily Bible studies, weekly journal sections, a gospel presentation, tear-out Scripture cards and more.
