A support group to help you move through the grief process

A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in 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.

Videos that encourage

Each weekly GriefShare group begins with a 30-minute video featuring respected experts on grief-related topics and helpful stories from people who have experienced loss. Their insights will help you manage your emotions, gain clarity, and find answers to your questions as you walk through the grief process.

Supportive discussions

After the video, you and the other group members will spend time discussing what was presented in the video and what is going on in your lives. Talking with other people who understand what you’re experiencing brings great comfort, normalizes the grief experience, and offers a supportive environment to work through your grief.

Helpful book to guide you

Your participant guide serves as a road map on your grief journey. This book helps you process your emotions and experiences and cope with the loss. You’ll apply what you’ve heard in the group and gain tools to deal with complicated grief.

Featured topics

While everyone’s response to loss is unique, people facing loss and grief will experience many of the same challenges. The weekly GriefShare topics address these common struggles—providing valuable tips, encouragement, and direction.

Hope for Grief presents a GLOVES FOR GRIEF Event which offers you a morning in the park to "Punch Your Pain into Purpose.

This will be an action-packed morning of shadow boxing, followed by a time of cooling down, stretching and breathing.

Those who attend will enjoy live music, connection and community.

Whether you are a seasoned boxer, a casual athlete, or entirely new to the sport, we invite you to come as you are.

Remember, you are not alone in your grief. We hear you, we see you, we are walking down this unthinkable road beside you. There is power in prayer. There is power in community. You do not get over grief. You grow around it.

All you need to bring with you is a yoga mat. Gloves for Grief will supply knucks to use for shadow boxing weights. If you have your own boxing gloves, feel free to bring them with you, or there will be some available to borrow. This is an event for men and women to punch their pain into purpose.
