First United Methodist Church GriefShare

Hello Friends,
The First United Methodist Church of Iowa City is offering the GriefShare program beginning Jan 27, 2024 and ending in early May 2024.

Sessions will be offered via ZOOM and IN-PERSON (HYBRID.) on Saturdays and times are either: 3:00-5:00 pm or 9:00-11:00 am.

GriefShare is for people grieving the death of a family member or friend. It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right now.
This can be a confusing time leaving you feeling isolated with many questions about things you’ve never faced before.
This weekly grief support group meets for 2 hours and includes 13 videos, discussion, and a study book with daily activities.
Anyone who has experienced loss can participate. If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you’ve probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel. You will find discussion with others who are experiencing a similar hurt insightful and together we’ll learn how to move forward.
You are welcome to begin attending the GriefShare group at any session. Each is “self-contained,” so you do not have to attend in sequence. You will find encouragement and help whenever you begin. You will be able to continue with GriefShare through the next cycle and view any of the videos you have not seen.
The cost of the workbook for use during the program is approximately $20 + Shipping. The workbook "From Mourning to Joy" can be purchased when you register online at www.GriefShare.org. Should you have any questions please contact GriefShare Leader Jane Driscoll at jdriscol@aol.com.
