When a person loses a loved one in their life, having someone to spend time with them is such an encouragement. This is what Grief Share is all about — it is having friends be with you as God moves you toward hope.
The three aspects of Grief Share are a video seminar — helpful information on grief-related topics; group discussion — facilitated small group discussion time; and personal and individual application of concepts — presented to help a person who has experienced loss move toward hope and healing.
Some of the sessions include “Your Grief Journey”; “Fearful and Overwhelmed”; “Questions for God”; and “Hope and Resilience”.
Starting on Tuesday, Sept. 5, 2023, Grief Share will meet every Tuesday evening from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in Room 205 at Trinity Church on 800 2nd Ave. in Opelika. If you would like to come to any of these meetings, Grief Share invites you to attend. For more information, you can contact Melinda Jackson, coordinator of Grief Share at Trinity Church, at 334-745-2632.
