GriefShare - Valley Church

8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Valley Church 4343 Fuller Road West Des Moines Grief is the cost of loving someone, And the grief journey can be debilitating, lonesome, heart-breaking. It takes time to heal. People need comfort and answers before they can move forward. GriefShare is a support group to help you walk the grief journey with others who have walked the same path. And with those who have never walked the grief path, but now are due to the loss of a loved one. Join us as we support one another, encourage each other, and maybe shed a few tears together. Location: lower level of Valley Church. Signs will be posted. We will be "social distancing" in the classroom. Face masks are per personal preference. Please bring your own writing utensil, beverage, and snack. Thank you. Patti Abram, GriefShare facilitator

GriefShare participants meet weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life. Each session will begin with a video, featuring interviews with experts in the field as well as people who have walked through the grieving process. Group discussion about what was presented in the video will follow. You will also have an opportunity to share what's going on in your lives. *You can join the group any time during the 13 week period , including a bonus session, "Surviving the Holidays" prior to Thanksgiving on November 19, 2020. *Check with the church office for cancelations due to weather. 515-961-8311
