Pathways | GriefShare
2024-11-27 18:30 - 20:00, 2024-12-04 18:30 - 20:00, 2024-12-11 18:30 - 20:00 | Horner Family Center, Level 7, Room 704
A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.
Each weekly GriefShare group begins with a 30-minute video featuring respected experts on grief-related topics and helpful stories from people who have experienced loss. Their insights will help you manage your emotions, gain clarity, and find answers to your questions as you walk through the grief process.
After the video, you and the other group members will spend time discussing what was presented in the video and what is going on in your lives. Talking with other people who understand what you’re experiencing brings great comfort, normalizes the grief experience, and offers a supportive environment to work through your grief.
While everyone’s response to loss is unique, people facing loss and grief will experience many of the same challenges. The weekly GriefShare topics address these common struggles—providing valuable tips, encouragement, and direction leading you to relief, comfort, and peace of mind.
The Fall 2024 semester of GriefShare will meet Wednesdays from 6:30–8pm, starting Wednesday, September 11–December 11, in Horner Family Center, Level 7, Room 704.
Cost: $20 registration fee. Participants will receive their participant guide on the first night of attendance to the group.
