After the funeral, when the cards and flowers have stopped coming, most of the people around you return to their normal lives. But your grief continues, and you feel alone. Often, friends and family want to help you, but don't know how. That's the reason for GriefShare. Our group is led by caring people who have experienced grief and have successfully rebuilt their lives. We understand how you feel because we've been in the same place. We will walk with you on the long path through grief toward healing and hope for the future. The cost of GriefShare is $25 and includes all program materials and light refreshments each week. If cost is a concern, please contact our GriefShare coordinator. For details about the program and what to expect, go to firstnorfolk.org/griefshare.

Participants much register first through the church's portal (see link above) and then through the GriefShare site.
