No matter what the circumstances, grief is a painful, confusing process.
 

A GriefShare group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. At this 13-week support group program, 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. 

​

At each weekly meeting, you will view a video featuring respected counselors, pastors, and healthcare professionals on grief-related topics, plus you’ll hear relatable personal stories of grief. After that is a small-group discussion to allow people time to talk, share support, and personally apply what they learned on the video. Everyone will receive a book to take home filled with valuable exercises for navigating their personal grieving process.

​

During the month of May we completed our Spring Session of GriefShare in Blenheim.

The participants were thrilled with the course and all want to comeback for our Fall Session.

 

Our GriefShare Fall Session will be starting Tuesday, September 17 and running for 13 weeks. We will be holding this one in the afternoons (from 1:30 pm – 3:30 pm) to accommodate those who don’t like driving at night.

Once again we will be meeting in the Blenheim Community Family Centre
60 Stanley Street.

​

Our facilitators are Pastor Don and Patty Dickert. They are both trained and experienced GriefShare leaders and have led GriefShare Sessions for a number of years both in London and Ridgetown. Pastor Don is also a graduate in Grief and Bereavement Studies from The University of Western Ontaio.
