If you’ve lost a spouse, a child, a family member, or a friend, you’ve probably found that there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel. This can be a confusing time, when you feel isolated and have many questions about things that you’ve never faced before.
Starting on Sunday, February 12, St. Denis’s GriefShare support group will meet weekly to help participants face these challenges and move toward rebuilding their lives. The group will meet every Sunday from 1:00-3:00 p.m. in Room A in the Hall for 13 weeks with a different topic for each session, as set forth below.
Dates:
February 12, 2023 Session One: “Is This Normal?”
February 19, 2023 Session Two: “Challenges of Grief”
February 26, 2023 Session Three: “The Journey of Grief (Part One)”

Each GriefShare session will have three distinct parts:
(1) watching a video seminar featuring top experts on grief and recovery;
(2) discussing with the group what was presented in the video and what is going on in their lives; and
(3) discussing questions and comments from a workbook, which participants will use during the week for further study of the grieving process and for journaling about their emotions.
Just show up for one of the sessions. You don’t have to sign up in advance.
