Grief Share Support Group
We know many people are going through the grief of losing a loved one. We have a nationally trusted program called Grief Share that we are starting at 5:30 pm Tuesday September 5, 2023.
Here is the information:
Sulphur Springs First United Methodist Church, 301 Church Street, is starting a Grief Share meeting in the North Conference Room of the Administration Building.
A Grief Share support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of 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.
Facilitated by Nancy Bunch Rooks. For more information or to sign up, see www.ssfumc.org/groups or call 972-885-2185. You are safe. You are not judged. You are welcome.
