Balm Care partners through BWIM with GriefShare to offer Grief Support Group sessions to those mourning the loss of a loved one.

Here are some of our testimonials:

  • "Initially I put off joining a grief support group because I have a good support system in general and I thought my friends and family would get me through it. Eventually I realized that I still felt very alone in my grief, and that I was cutting myself off from the world-even God. The pain of losing my mom was so intense and I didn’t want to go on. A friend finally convinced me to join Griefshare and I am so glad I did. It was such a comfort to have a set time each week where I knew I could open up and be fully transparent about my grief and be supported by people who understood what I was going through. I was able to start reconnecting with God also. I highly recommend this group to anyone struggling with the death of a loved one."

    Galen

  • "I hadn’t realized that I was stuffing my grief rather than dealing with it; cracking my box of grief periodically, afraid to open it fully. I thought I would fall apart facing the death of my dear mother. Grief Share gave me a safe space to express my grief thoroughly, within God’s love and Grace. Grief Share is a light in the darkness of grief."

    Renette

  • "Being a part of grief share group was fundamental to my healing. I was able to get out of my comfort zone. It also connected me with people who knew exactly how I was feeling. Even on difficult days, it gives you something to look forward to. I am grateful that I had a great foundation to start my healing."

    Jada

  • Grief share helped me bring on my journey of healing in the sight of my grief. Healing is a daily process, but I definitely feel better coming out than I did going in. I would suggest going through a round or two of grief share to help on your healing journey.
