SHADYSIDE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Grief Share is a grief recovery support group which meets weekly for eight consecutive weeks. It is designed to provide encouragement and a faith-centered perspective for those who have lost a loved one.

The sessions include a video which features conversations by top experts on a variety of subjects that are important in the grief recovery process. There is also time for discussion about the video and sharing of experiences. Each participant receives a workbook, which includes reflections upon relevant and practical passages of Scripture, and is an important part of this journey.

Grief Share groups normally meet in the evening to accommodate work schedules. They are led by a pastor or grief counselor and an experienced grief support facilitator.

There is no cost to attend the group. This is a ministry sponsored by the Congregational Care Committee of the Board of Deacons.
