GriefShare

New Sessions Coming to McLane Church Soon

When you’re grieving the death of a family member or friend, you may dread the holiday season. Thoughts of social gatherings, family traditions, and obligations leave you anxious and overwhelmed. What can you do to lessen your stress and loneliness?
McLane Church is hosting a GriefShare: Surviving the Holidays seminar, which offers practical strategies for making it through the holiday season. At this two-hour seminar, you’ll view a video featuring advice from people in grief who’ve faced the holidays after their loss. You’ll hear insights from respected Christian counselors, pastors, and psychologists. And you’ll receive a Holiday Survival Guide with practical strategies, encouraging words, helpful exercises, and journaling ideas for daily survival through the holiday season.
At GriefShare Surviving the Holidays, you’ll meet with other grieving people who have an understanding of what you’re going through. They won’t judge you or force you to share, but will accept you where you are and will offer comfort and support. 
Join us in person or online. Go to griefshare.org/holidays to register.
