Grief Groups and Resources

Pray your way through each and every day. It will not always be this hard. Care for yourself well. Be alone with God. Surround yourself with others. Do what you can do–physically, emotionally and spiritually– trust and seek our Almighty, All-Powerful God for what you cannot do. May you find God in everyday moments, places and people. May He give wisdom and discernment at this tender time. Grieve in your own unique way. We are all a work in progress. God is always at work. –excerpts from Comfort my people walkingthroughscripture.com view online: https://issuu.com/walkingthroughscripture The following are listed to assist you in your grief journey: Harvest Ridge Covenant Church 22015 Midland Drive in Shawnee https://www.harvestridge.org Blue Christmas Service, December 10 at 6:30 pm https://www.compassionatefriends.org The Compassionate Friends (TCF) is a national nonprofit, self-help support organization offering friendship, understanding, and hope for families grieving the death of a child of any age, from any cause.
