How will GriefShare help you? When a loved one dies, it can feel like you’re alone. Few people understand how painful and isolating your grief can be. But that doesn’t mean you have to suffer by yourself. At GriefShare, you’ll find a safe, comforting place where you can talk with others about your grief. You’ll find support, direction, and guidance on how to make it through.
GriefShare Support group is currently on summer break. For more information or to register, call Gail at 717-263-8491 ext. 207.
The next seminar starts August 12, at 1-3 pm and will run through November 25, 2024.
