GriefShare Support Group Meeting
Monday August 4, 1 p.m., & 7 p.m. Palmetto Avenue Baptist Church sanctuary, 2626 S. Palmetto Avenue, Sanford. For everyone who is grieving the death of a loved one - whether you’ve experienced the loss of a spouse, parent, child (infant, young child, teen, adult, unborn), friend, sibling, coworker or other relative. GriefShare is a support group that 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. Please sign up for the session at [email protected] or call/text Laurel at 321-316-0553 for more information about the session.
