A GriefShare Support group will begin Thursday, Aug. 28, at Disciples United Methodist Church, 102 Maple Ave., Mt. Morris.

Sessions will run from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Fireplace Room. The sessions will run through Nov. 20, to conclude before Thanksgiving. All meetings will be on Thursday evenings.

The cost of the program is $20, which is used to cover the fee for the workbook/study guide.

GriefShare is a support group that features faith-based teaching focusing on grief topics associated with the death of a loved one.

The DVD portion features nationally respected grief experts and real-life stories of people, followed by quiet listening and sharing in a safe, small group.

Past participants have related how helpful the information and follow-up fellowship were to them.

Many grieving people find they are only beginning the work of healing when friends or family have already returned to their daily life routines.

Confidentiality is very much a part of this program. The participant’s bereavement experience may be recent or years ago.

People will find encouragement, comfort and help in grieving the death of a spouse, child, parent, sibling, other family member or friend.

GriefShare is available to anyone in the church, community or surrounding towns who would like to attend. Registration will be during the first evening.
