GriefShare

GriefShare

Thursday, January 16, 2025

At GriefShare you’ll receive valuable guidance and tips, leading you to relief, comfort, and peace of mind.

Thursdays, Jan 16th - Apr 10th
7:00-8:30pm at NSAC
Cost: $25

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.
