Highlands Community Church GriefShare

I am Tom Durrant and I will be facilitating the upcoming Grief/Share group meeting at Highlands Community Church with Miss Elaine Chan.

I lost my wife of 39 years in 2015. Three months later, following the advice of several friends, I participated in a Grief/Share group. I didn’t know anyone in these meetings, but since we all had a common burden, it was very easy to relate to each person. We had a shared knowledge of the struggles that had fallen upon us. This was deeply comforting for us all.

I am not an expert on this topic. I don’t know all the answers to life, but the videos and homework assignments, along with the discussion times; all serve to help us to adjust to life without out loved ones.

My desire is to provide a safe, understanding, and supportive environment for you as we explore the various facets of God’s promised comfort.

Miss Chan lost her husband nine years ago, and found herself raising three young boys by herself.

The Highlands Community Church GriefShare group is unique in that we prepare and serve dinner at each meeting. Miss Chan is an excellent cook and we both enjoy providing these meals as part of the GriefShare experience. There meals are our treat; there is no cost to you for these homemade meals.

If you are joining us as one who has experienced GriefShare classes in the past, please know that you are welcome to bring your GriefShare notebook and jump into the class at any point along the way. I am sure we all can benefit from your experience.
