OM DENNE EPISODE
When grief feels isolating, and your questions seem unanswerable, where do you turn?
In this week's episode, Sam Hodges, President of Church Initiative (the parent ministry of GriefShare), joins us to discuss this Christ-centered grief support resource that creates space for honest conversation and community. Learn what it looks like to find relief and how GriefShare groups help people move from being comforted to becoming comforters for others.
Additional Resources
Not ready for a group yet? Sam and the Church Initiative team have created several books to help you understand your grief—whether you're wrestling with loss, searching for permission to feel what you're feeling, or wanting to understand what Scripture says in the middle of your pain. All are available at the GriefShare bookstore and on Amazon (Living Without Mom, "Is My Grief Normal?", Loss of a Spouse, What God Says About Your Grief, and more).
