After the funeral, when the cards and flowers have stopped coming, most of the people around you return to their normal lives.

But your grief continues and you feel alone.

Often, friends and families want to help you, but don’t know how. That’s the reason for GriefShare. Our group is led by caring people who have experienced grief and have successfully rebuilt their lives. We understand how you feel because we’ve been in the same place. We will walk with you on the long path through grief toward healing and hope for the future.

When Do We Meet?

Reston Bible Church hosts two 13-week sessions each year. Our next 13-week session will begin September 8, 2024, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. in Room 236. The classes are not consecutive, so you can jump in on any class and then make up the ones you’ve missed either online or in the next session. You do not need to be an RBC attendee to attend GriefShare, and there is a $20 cost for materials. For more information, please contact Debrar Farrar at griefshare@restonbible.org if you’d like more information about the current session.
