Supporting members of our congregation and local community at various stages of faith and family life is an important part of our life as a church. We run faith-based courses designed to help us with this aim.
The Bereavement Journey
The Bereavement Journey is a place to talk – 7 Sessions of films and discussion for anyone, whether grieving a death now, or wanting to explore a previous bereavement that may be unresolved. This course is for bereaved adults to do their own grief work. It is supported by a Guest Manual and facilitated by volunteers. Attendance is recommended for all the Sessions.
Everyone is welcome, although it is usually most beneficial to attend at least a few weeks after the death – ideally after the funeral, but this is not essential and The Bereavement Journey can benefit those in anticipatory grief, pregnancy loss or the long-term effects of loss.
Topics will include separation and loss; managing difficult feelings; the impact and pain of bereavement; coping with others; coping with change; attachment; and moving forward.
