No matter what the circumstances, grief is a challenging, confusing process. A Grief Share Group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief.
A weekly Grief Share Group support program returns again to St. Peter's Church, starting on September 16, 2025. This 90-minute weekly program will be held in the Hutton Lounge on Tuesday afternoons, beginning at 4:00 p.m.
During this 10-week support program, you will discover what to expect in the days to come and what's normal in "grief".  Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you'll learn helpful ways to cope with grief, in all its unpredictability, and gain solid support along that each step of the way.
At each weekly meeting, you will view a video featuring respected counsellors, pastors, and healthcare professionals on grief-related topics, plus you'll hear relatable personal stories of grief.  This is followed by a small group discussion to allow people time to talk, share support, and personally apply what they learned from the video. Everyone receives a book to take home filled with valuable exercises for navigating their personal grieving process.
If you have experienced the death of a family member or friend, you are invited to attend.
