We are so sorry that you have experienced a loss! Our leaders, James and Leah know firsthand, how difficult it is to experience the death of a loved one. In 2014 they lost their firstborn son, Logan, at the age of 24. Intensely grieving and trying to keep their heads above the waves, they joined a GriefShare group in the winter of 2015. There they found hope and healing with others who understood loss. They then joined another group in the winter of 2017. Today, they are thankful that they have been able to mourn their son deeply and have found joy again. Now, God has called them to facilitate a GriefShare group at Summit View Church. They want to offer this same process of hope and healing for others who have lost a loved one. GriefShare has brought a great deal of comfort to those in your situation. Please feel free to email James and Leah at jamesnleah87@hotmail.com with any questions. You may also contact Leah by phone or text at 360-901-1236
