Grief Share is a Christian organization that only operates with church sponsorship. There are both in-person and online groups. Each group typically meets for 8 weeks, one day a week, often in the evening so people who work can attend. The meetings usually run for 1 1/2 hours. The first half hour, a video is shown explaining the theme of each meeting. There are testimonies of people who have experienced the loss of a loved one, and how GriefShare helped them.

There is no cost for the meetings, except for the cost of a thick GriefShare workbook whose purchase and use is highly recommended. The cost is $20.00. The workbook is well worth the cost given the information and exercises it contains.
Groups that are created to address a specific issue can be highly effective at promoting healing and helping people to function in society. The testimonies of people who have attended GriefShare and have taken advantage of all the groups have to offer have had very positive experiences.
As a person who has grief issues, I look forward to attending a group, and going through the healing process with the tools and experiences they have to offer.
