ROYAL PARK PLACE Life Style
Chaplain’s Corner
You are not alone in your journey. God is continually walking with you every step of the way. Jesus was “a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief” (Isaiah 53:3 KJV) . We indeed serve a Savior who understands. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Ps. 34:18). y God draws you close to Himself. He is not standing on the sidelines. y He gives you added support through the Royal Park family. y He gives you the Hope of Heaven as you grieve. y “I don’t know how one goes through losing someone without one’s faith to carry them.” Others share this about their GriefShare experience: y “This class made me realize that we go through steps and phases in grief…some good days and bad. It was comforting to be with others on a similar journey, sharing their perspectives and experiences. This class helped me move forward.” -Sue (lost her son to suicide) y “This class helped me to see that the feelings I’ve gone through this past year are normal and gave me the confidence to know I am on the right track as I continue to move through the grief process.” -Nancy (lost her husband) Let us walk together through grief toward healing, hope, and, yes, even joy for the future.
Wednesdays, April 23 – May 28 3:00–4:00 pm Royal Atrium Activity Room Watch for the sign-up sheet to be available soon. After the funeral, when the cards and flowers stop coming, most people around you return to their normal lives. But your grief continues, and you often feel alone. We invite you to join GriefShare as we continue to walk alongside each other through one of life’s most difficult experiences. The purpose of GriefShare: y To provide a safe, supportive environment where people can come together to share concerns about their loss and grief. y To help facilitate healthy ways of coping with loss and grief. During these six sessions, we will listen to others (video experts and testimonies); we will listen to each other (through group discussion), and we will listen to God (guided by scriptures and weekly worksheets).
Facilitated by: Chaplain Mary Dewitt, assisted by Chaplain Cindy and Harley VerBeek.
