Vineyard Church North Phoenix | Grief Share

I want to extend my sincere sympathy for your loss. Everyone's journey through grief is different. I am glad you have found a safe place to share your feelings.

The grieving process can be lengthy and intense. Even mature Christians with a solid faith need ongoing comfort and encouragement during this time. Surrounding yourself with others who can identify with your pain and emotions allows the healing process to begin.

It is difficult during this time to watch others go about their daily routine while you are in so much pain. GriefShare will provide you with valuable information and tools to help you cope during this time.

Know we care and are here to support you and help in any way we can through the GriefShare program. Sharing your message openly is appreciated. You may have reached others who are hurting and didn't know where to turn. As you are learning community is so important at a time like this.

Thank you for having the courage to do such hard work.

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:3

I am so sorry that you had to join this group also. Our faithful God is here to see you through every step of this journey. Please know that you are loved and prayed for every day.

When you sit in the bathroom at church. (I can’t speak for the men’s bathroom) There is a flier posted on the wall inviting you to come to Grief Share. I had looked at that flier off and on for over a year and never thought much about it. After my 5 year old son's friend passed away I looked at the flier and thought, “There is a small group I hope I never have to join”. Yet weekly I go. For a group we never wanted to attend, the few weeks off or the winter break seemed so lonely. A few months have passed and everyone seems to be back to “normal” (what ever that is).

Yet Sundays for me are still filled with sadness. Over whelming sadness. I wake up and feel depressed. I get to church and still cry every Sunday. I am so glad for grief share and those that chose to share their journey. There I am able to safely cry and cry and cry. It has been a small group I never wanted to join but I am so glad I it has been there for me

Come join us in a safe environment where you will be with others who just need someplace to share their struggle with grief.Many lives have been helped through this program.
