GriefShare is here for you

GriefShare is a welcoming support group for people grieving the death of a family member or friend. Each meeting combines guidance from grief experts, along with honest conversations and encouragement from others who understand what you’re going through.

There’s no pressure to have the right words or to “move on.” Instead, you’ll find a safe place to share your story (when/if you’re ready), listen when you need to, ask questions, and discover timely tools that can help you navigate life after loss—one step at a time.

Whether your loss is recent or happened years ago, GriefShare is here to walk alongside you as you find hope for the road ahead.

Find support near you

Find support for wherever you are in grief

Your grief journey is unique, but finding others who understand is the first step toward healing. At a GriefShare group, you will find a safe, welcoming space of people who have navigated this road before. The group consists of three main parts:

Videos that encourage

Each weekly GriefShare group begins with a 30-minute video featuring respected experts on grief-related topics and helpful stories from people who have experienced loss. Their insights will help you manage your emotions, gain clarity, and find answers to your questions as you walk through the grief process.

Supportive discussions

After the video, you and the other group members will spend time discussing what was presented in the video and what is going on in your lives. Talking with other people who understand what you’re experiencing brings great comfort, normalizes the grief experience, and offers a supportive environment to work through your grief.

Helpful book

Your participant guide serves as a road map on your grief journey. This book helps you process your emotions and experiences and cope with the loss. You’ll apply what you’ve heard in the group and gain tools to deal with complicated grief.

Topics that meet you where you are

Every grief journey is unique, but many of the questions, emotions, and challenges that come with loss are shared. Each GriefShare session addresses these common experiences with timely guidance, compassionate encouragement, and biblical hope to help you navigate life after the loss of someone you love.

Loneliness

Discover how to navigate the loneliness of grief and find comfort in knowing you don’t have to walk this journey by yourself.

Fear

When the future feels uncertain, learn how to face your fears one step at a time and find stability for the road ahead.

Anger

Explore the difficult emotions grief can bring, including anger, and discover healthy ways to process them without guilt or shame.

Regrets

“What ifs” are common in grief. If you’re carrying the weight of things left unsaid or undone, find grace, perspective, and hope as you move through feelings of regret.

Relationships

Grief can change the way you relate to family and friends. Learn how to navigate shifting relationships, well-meaning but insensitive comments, and how to communicate your needs.

Hope

Grief changes your life, but it doesn't have to define your future. Discover how hope can grow alongside your grief as you begin to move forward while still honoring your loved one.

And much more.

What happens during a typical group meeting?

Each week you’ll view a 30-minute video on a grief-related topic, featuring valuable insights from counselors, pastors, and others who’ve lost a loved one. Then your group will discuss the video and how it applies to your lives. You’ll also receive a book with helpful tips and exercises for personal support throughout the week.

How does GriefShare compare with other grief support options?

While other grief support sites may offer phone or video consultations with a professional, we have found a group support setting to be crucial for healing. One-on-one counsel is certainly helpful, but a more complete healing is found in the context of having people walk alongside you on the grief journey.

How much does it cost to attend?

For most groups the cost ranges from free to around $25 to cover the cost of your participant guide. Contact the church that is hosting a group near you (or online) to find out.

Is GriefShare for people with a specific type of loss?

GriefShare is for everyone who is grieving the death of a loved one—whether you’ve experienced the loss of a spouse, parent, child (infant, young child, teen, adult, unborn), friend, sibling, coworker, or other relative.
