Grief recovery offered by Lakeside Baptist
Beginning Jan. 10, Lakeside Baptist Church will be offering GriefShare, a Biblically-based group offering support in overcoming loss.
“You won’t ever forget your loss, but grief recovery offers some practical information that can help you recover from the pain that you feel,” organizers said.
According to information from the church, grief is “that feeling of emptiness and exhaustion after you lose someone you love. Maybe you feel that you are doing OK most days, but other days you are just going through the motions, keeping up appearances, especially through the holidays, and feeling overwhelmed, hoping that time will eventually make you feel better.
The GriefShare sessions are led by people who have gone through loss. The groups watch a video, have a discussion about the video and workbook. “Talking is optional, and you will learn how to progress through this journey at your own pace,” organizers said. “You will also see that your grief is unique, but your emotions are normal. Others are having similar experiences.
GriefShare will be from 5 to 7 p.m. beginning Jan. 10.
