Spring session
February through May
14 weekly meetings, Tuesday mornings at 9:30 AM. You can join through about week three and still get the full arc.
Care · GriefShare
Grief, walked through with company.
GriefShare is a 14-week peer-support group for anyone grieving the loss of someone close. A short video, a real conversation, and a workbook that becomes a roadmap as the weeks go by.
What an evening looks like
Three things every week.
01 · A short video
Each session opens with a short video featuring grief experts and real stories from people who have walked this road.
02 · A real conversation
After the video, the group talks. Not therapy, not advice. Honest peer conversation in a room that knows loss.
03 · A workbook
You go home with a participant workbook. Reflection prompts and reading for the week between sessions.
Fall session
August through November
Same 14-week rhythm. Same time. Different room of people, same kind of welcome.
Facilitator
Sue Kraus
Sue leads every session. She has walked this road herself and walks it with each new group. Reach her through the office: office@newhopechurch.net.

Reach the officeGriefShare is peer support and faith-based companionship, not licensed therapy. When professional counseling is the right next step, our staff keeps a list of Christian counselors recommended to us by people in our church family. They work from biblical principles. The list is a starting point for finding the right professional, not a New Hope endorsement. Ask the office for a copy. If you are in crisis, please call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
