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, acquainted with deepest grief.” (Isaiah. 53:13) We indeed serve a Savior who understands. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and He saves those whose spirits have been crushed. (Psalm.34:18) y God draws you close to Himself. He is not standing on the sidelines. y He gives you this Royal Park Community for support. y He gives you the Hope of Heaven as you grieve. y “I don’t know how you go through losing someone without your faith to carry you.” Others share this about their Griefshare experience: y “This class made me realize that there are steps and phases we go through 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 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 and hope, and yes, even joy for the future. Facilitated by: Chaplain Doug, Chaplain Mary, and Harley VerBeek .
Thursdays, April 18 – May 23 3:00–4:00 pm Royal Atrium Activity Room Sign-Up sheet at the RPP main desk or at either RAI dining room. 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 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 in which people can come together to share concerns related to their loss and grief. y To help facilitate healthy ways of coping with loss and grief. During these 6 sessions we listen to others (video experts and testimonies); we listen to each other (through group discussion); and we listen to God (guided by scriptures and weekly workbook).
