A Christian-based support group, Griefshare
is accessible online throughout the country and is a lifeline for many today. On
the site a person puts in their zip code, and the site brings up local groups
available in their area with contact information. The small group members watch
a video, take notes in a $15 workbook, and are a support group for each other.
They’re encouraged to journal as well.
The program lasts 13 weeks. On the
website there is a bibliography for specific kinds of losses (of a child,
spouse) or on subjects such as surviving the holidays. All of these materials
can be ordered directly from the website without being a “member” of Griefshare.

They recommend a book I believe
would be a good resource: Grieving with Hop: Finding Comfort As You Journey
Through Loss,by
Kathy Leonard and Sam Hodges (Baker Books 2011). This book dispels the myth
that we neatly move through the steps in the grieving process. We’re more
likely to jump back and forth and experience multiple stages at once. It also
deals with issues that grieving people face but are reluctant to share with
others.
