Surviving the Holidays

For those who have experienced the death of a loved one, the approaching holidays often bring mixed feelings of sadness, nostalgia, and even dread.

During this time of COVID-19, feelings of loneliness and isolation make life even more difficult. To help you prepare for the holidays especially in the midst of the pandemic, Shadyside Presbyterian Church’s Grief Support Group will gather on Monday, November 16. Our discussion will be filled with practical and uplifting ideas for the weeks ahead. Please feel free to invite a family member or friend. For more information or to register, please contact Rev. Lynn Portz by email or call the church office.

Shadyside Presbyterian Church Care and Support Ministries offers a Grief Support Group designed to provide encouragement and a faith-centered perspective for those who have lost a loved one. The group meets regularly to discuss a variety of subjects that are important in the grief recovery process, including the range of emotions which grief brings, and resources for moving forward. Sessions are led by a pastor and an experienced grief support facilitator. New participants are always welcome to join the group, which is a ministry sponsored by the Board of Deacons.
