One of our core values at Living Water Church is to “not do life alone.” This includes the journey of grief. Losing someone you love can feel heavy and deeply isolating, but you don’t have to walk through it by yourself. After the loss of my mom to cancer in 2017 and my father-in-law to stroke complications in 2020, I went through GriefShare. There I found comfort, hope, and genuine encouragement. For that reason, I've been leading these groups since 2021, and I've had the privilege of watching others begin to heal and find hope. I've also made some very meaningful friendships along the way. GriefShare is a safe, caring place to share your story, learn from others, and find hope for the days ahead. While it’s faith-based, you don’t have to attend Living Water—or any church—to participate. We simply ask that you come with an open mind, a gentle heart, and a willingness to listen. I look forward to meeting you, learning about your loved ones, and walking this journey alongside you.
