Periodically, our church offers a grief recovery group called "Life After Loss." This 9-week gathering  includes education about the grief recovery process, opportunities for discussion and grief sharing, and weekly assignments designed to help you find happiness and hope after enduring a loss. 

Here is the flyer from our most recent group:

Topics:

Week 1:     Introduction
Week 2:    Acknowledging Your Loss
Week 3:    Dispelling Misconceptions About Grief
Week 4:    Embracing the Uniqueness of Your Grief
Week 5:    Exploring Your Feelings of Loss
Week 6:    Recognizing that You Are Not Crazy
Week 7:    Nurturing Yourself 
Week 8:   Recovering From Your Loss
Week 9:   Appreciating Your Transformation

​A typical meeting lasts about 60 minutes and includes:

• A brief time for introductions & ice-breaking
• A time of teaching about grief recovery (see topics above)
• A time for lesson discussion & grief sharing
• An explanation of the upcoming week's assignment

Each participant receives:

• A free book
