St Mark's Catholic Community GriefShare

Welcome to St Marks Grief Share Program! We meet for 13 weeks to learn about grief and why it’s so difficult and confusing as well as supporting one another through this journey called Grief. I started out as a participant after losing my son 5 1/2 years ago and struggled with that loss. I thought I was losing my mind with all the emotions that came with grief. I saw an announcement for the Grief Share program although hesitant to talk about my loss I knew I needed to go and find out if how I was handling this unwanted journey was normal because it seemed others were handling this better and their lives were unaffected. The facilitators and participants were understanding and allowed me the time to learn and to speak when I was ready. Just being there with others experiencing their own loss and hearing them speak was enough to keep me going and join in discussions and share my loss with them. Although our losses and stages of the loss and feelings were different the journey to understanding and to healing was our commonality and a great help.
I found the program to be such a tremendous help that I wanted to share and help others who have lost a loved one through death. I am here to answer any questions you may have and provide more information so please feel free to contact me.
