Spring session
February through May. 15 weekly meetings, Tuesday mornings at 9:30 AM. Nobody is asked to talk before they’re ready.
Grief, walked through with company.
GriefShare is a weekly peer-support group for anyone grieving the loss of someone close. Each week has a video, a conversation, and a workbook to take home. Nobody is asked to talk before they’re ready.
Three things every week.
A video
Each session opens with a video featuring grief experts and real stories from people who have walked this road.
A conversation
After the video, the group talks. Not therapy, not advice. Honest peer conversation in a room that knows loss.
A workbook
You go home with a participant workbook. Reflection prompts and reading for the week between sessions.
When the sessions run.
Fall session
Ask the office for dates. Same weekly rhythm, Tuesday mornings at 9:30 AM, with the same kind of welcome.

GriefShare beyond New Hope.
GriefShare is a national, faith-based program with thousands of groups across the country. Learn how the program works at griefshare.org. The listing for our New Hope group is at find.griefshare.org/groups/295343.
Looking for more than the group? Our grief support page gathers what else New Hope has for this season: the monthly Widow's Lunch Bunch, and messages our pastors have preached on grief and loss, each with the full video and a transcript you can read at any hour.
Topics across the weeks.
- The journey of grief, and what to expect
- Loneliness, and how to bear it
- Fear, anger, and complicated emotions
- Regrets and what to do with them
- Relationships and family that grief reshapes
- Hope, slowly, and what comes after
When the next session opens.
Registration for the current session is closed, and the group doesn't take new members once a session is under way. Call the office and we'll let you know when the next one opens.
Prefer to write? Email the office and we'll put you on the list for the next session. When registration reopens it is handled by GriefShare, not New Hope, and governed by their own privacy policy.
GriefShare is peer support and faith-based companionship, not licensed therapy. If you are in crisis, please call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
