SUMMARY:GriefShare
DESCRIPTION:Grief can feel overwhelming\, confusing\, and lonely. The GriefShare Grief Support Group at Mercy Presbyterian Church offers a safe and caring place to find help\, hope\, and understanding after the loss of a loved one. \nGriefShare is a 13-week grief support program for people who have experienced the death of a family member or friend. Each session provides guidance\, encouragement\, and a supportive community where you can heal at your own pace. \nGrief does not follow a set timeline. In this group\, you will learn what is normal in grief\, what to expect in the weeks ahead\, and healthy ways to cope with grief as it changes over time. \n\n\nMore Info & Register: MercyPres.org/GriefShare
