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. \nEach 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.

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. \nWhile 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. \nThe 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. \nCost: $20 registration fee.
