Grief Care

January 30 7:00 - 9:00 pm

5440 16th Avenue, Markham, ON, Canada

Find support and emotional recovery.

Grief Care is a support group for those who have experienced the death of a loved one and continue to find life difficult. If you are struggling, then this is your season to get support with Grief Care.

 

What is Grief Care?

Grief Care is a support group that meets for 2 hours, once a week, for 13 sessions. This group helps you face the challenges of losing a loved one and move toward rebuilding your life.

Each Grief Care session has three distinct elements:

  1. Video seminar with experts.
  2. Support group discussion with focus.
  3. Personal study and reflection.
Through their own grief experiences, the group leaders have learned to be sensitive to and support others who are grieving. They are there to encourage you and facilitate the process of learning, sharing, and listening to others. They are not there as counselors or therapists. Grief Care group members often relate that they feel like their group has become a family, that they made new friends and are around people they can relate to. You’ll discover hope for the future. Many who have been part of this group tell us the group helped them move from deep grief to peace and a sense of joy again.

Who is it for?

Grief Care is for people grieving the death of a family member or friend. It may be a recent loss, a series of losses, or something that happened a long time ago, but is still troubling or interfering with building a new life. Grief Care is for adults only. If you have children who are grieving, we can provide some resources to help you talk with and support them.

What do the sessions cover?

Some themes include:
• common responses to the death of a loved one
• challenges that grieving presents
• writing a grief letter to help others understand what you’re going through
• how to ask for and accept help
• caring for grieving children
• facing the tough questions—”why?”
• overcoming anger and guilt
• learning from your grief
• Heaven and the after-life
• What do I live for now?
• Will life return to normal?
