Healing Hearts: Friendship & Grief Group
Have you suffered the loss of a loved one? Are you on an emotional roller coaster? Are you feeling overwhelmed? Everyone’s grief journey is unique to them. We all react to these dreadful situations differently, and heal our lives at our own pace.
At Guardian Angels, we have a caring group – all on our own grief journey – who meet every other Monday from 12:30 – 2:00 p.m. We watch a 30 minute video from Grief Share, discuss how it relates to our situations, and share our love and support with one another. These individuals have all endured the passing of people close to them. As a group, they possess a high degree of respect and confidentiality, together with a desire to share and care for one another.
We use a video series from Grief Share – a Christian centered program designed to assist people who have suffered loss. The videos cover a wide variety of topics (noted below) discussed by people who have faced severe loss. They walk us through the plethora of emotions that we will face, their highs and lows, as well as pitfalls to be aware of. All of this supports the effort to navigate through our darkest times and, with God’s help, step into a new normal.
If you are uncertain, we invite you to attend two or three meetings. After watching the videos and experiencing the love and support of others who have gone through similar ordeals, we are confident that you will stay, and pass on your own grace and support to others.
