A grief group began in February 2021 for persons who have experienced the death of a loved one, either during the pandemic or earlier. It is now accepted that Covid19 challenges one’s capacity, as well as opportunity, to process grief as one might otherwise do under more normal circumstances. Rituals surrounding grieving have been adversely impacted by Covid19, and isolation imposed by the virus has heightened loneliness felt by those who are bereaved. We seek to explore Christian traditions around grieving while we gently converse and faithfully walk together through our contemporary experience of loss, grief, and healing.
While our meetings are currently on hold, we hope to offer them again in the near future. Notice will be posted when the meetings resume. In the meantime, other area churches offer similar opportunities to talk through loss and grief. Two you might wish to consider visiting are:
- At Central Church in Ewing—Wednesday nights at 7:00 pm in-person (609) 882-0252
Griefshare is a community outreach support group for people who have experienced the death of a loved one. Each session features a Christian-based video followed by a time of discussion with people who understand. Walk with others as you heal from the loss of a loved one. - At Ascension Lutheran Church near Washington Crossing—Wednesday nights at 7:00 pm in-person Grief Support Group: If you’re grieving the loss of a loved one, it helps to know you’re not alone. This group is a place to share your feelings while having the support and understanding of others who have felt their own grief. Together, we can help one another heal. Please come join us. For information, please call or email Clark Shuster at 215-539-9185 or clshuster@msn.com. (The location is actually just outside Washington Crossing.)
