As you know, the death of a spouse brings a unique kind of pain. People who are widowed haven’t just lost a loved one—they’ve lost an entire lifestyle. That’s why we’ve developed Loss of a Spouse. Churches that offer GriefShare in their ministry know the pain that a person faces when they have lost their spouse and the many secondary losses that accompany the death. This new easy-to-use, stand-alone two-hour GriefShare seminar is the perfect companion to your GriefShare ministry. For churches who do not use the GriefShare series this is a tool to reach the grieving spouse in your community and minister to their specific needs. Loss of a Spouse draws new people to your church and GriefShare ministry by offering support to grieving spouses.
Our two-hour
seminar works just like a typical GriefShare meeting or a Surviving the
Holidays event, with a short video followed by a small-group discussion. The
video features expert Christian counselors, authors, and pastors, including new
interviews with some of your favorites from the GriefShare curriculum.
Participants
will also take home a valuable Loss of a Spouse booklet that includes:
- A video
note-taking outline
- Devotional
materials that help people find hope in God’s Word
- Grief
recovery exercises
- Journaling
prompts
