Hello, my name is Alice Coryell. I lost my husband over two years ago and this program helped me so much. I am a retired Human Resources Manager and have lead groups of people in a corporate setting and intimate setting through teaching, training and study groups for many years.
When I joined Griefshare as a participant, it wasn't just the wonderful advice from expert godly people in the 13 weeks of videos (watched in the privacy of your home) but the love and understanding from all the people in the group (online) who are in the same boat, trying to go on after the loss of a loved one.

I hope you will consider joining us. I don't think you will regret it. It costs nothing to join this wonderful group and the only thing you need to purchase for a minimal fee of $15 plus shipping is the workbook that takes you through the course and gives you time to reflect on how you are doing and what you have learned. Invaluable. If you can't afford the book, ask for a scholarship. I will be glad to give that to you. We don't want anyone who would like to be with us to be left out because of finances. Another wonderful benefit is that if you miss a session, you can catch up on your own by watching the session video at home any time and using your workbook to get back into the swing. Also, once the 13 week sessions are up, you can come back for the next 13 week sessions anytime you like. You just have to register again for each 13 week session but there is no charge whatsoever. I have done it several times now and can tell you that like many things in life, I get so much more out of it every time I do it.

I will be facilitating the next group for GriefShare beginning Thursday, September 16, 2021 from 6pm to 8 pm via Zoom online. I send you each a link about 15 minutes before the meeting and you just click and join us. So easy! The 13 week sessions will end in December around the third week. It’s all done online via Zoom.

If you know anyone suffering the loss of a loved one, especially now as we continue to live with some isolation, please have them visit this site at Griefshare.org, and I’ll send them more info.

Once you sign up and purchase the work book, they mail it to you. You also have access to use it online before the session starts and before yours arrives in the mail. The courses (weekly videos) follow the book. Any other thoughts please email me.

Lots of loss and isolation. I can attest to the fact that you may truly find kindred spirits and new understanding and supportive friends in this group. Unless you’ve been there, it’s hard to know how to help those who are going through a loss. If you know anyone who’s had the loss of a loved one, please give this information to them. Thanks so much everybody. Take good care.
