Kia ora koutou te whanau,
Welcome to our new GriefShare group. The cost is $NZ20 the participant book, but can be subsidised if necessary. To fit in with the school terms we will meet weekly until the term 1 school holidays, on a Thursday night from 7pm - 9 pm in a private home. This group is a confidential place for listening, talking and learning about the grief process. It consists of a short introduction each session, a video from world experts in the Grief world and then a short sharing session. The programme is from a Christian perspective and covers practical, emotional and spiritual aspects of grief. It is available for people grieving the death of a person, recent or in the past. For other forms of grief, please contact the pastoral care team at Golden Sands Baptist through the website.
