Cross Sound Church began offering GriefShare (GS) programs twice annually in 2021. Our next 13-week session is for those who have suffered loss of a spouse, child, family member or friend and would benefit from the support and wisdom this international program offers. Previous attendees have been grateful for a "safe, honest place" where they could be vulnerable and confront their emotions that they have pushed away to survive. GS offers hope for the future and normalizes what can be a tumultuous process which has lasted many years. Confidentiality is stressed and valued. We show appropriate helpful videos weekly before sharing. No one is required to speak. Coffee, tea and goodies are provided in our large private room.
