GriefShare is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way. Child care can be arranged if needed.

Eligibility Criteria
We acknowledge that grief differs for everyone, and we look forward to supporting you in your grief journey, sharing in a safe space, and acknowledging all are equally important.
Instructions for Referral

Although there is no registration fee, participants are charged a $25 fee for the handbook, due before or at the first session.
Should you be financially unable to cover the cost of the guide, a scholarship is available as we do not want you to lose out on this healing opportunity due to financial burdens. Severe weather conditions may prohibit us from meeting in person. However, we will then move to either meeting online that evening or postponing for a week.
