In addition to bereavement services for the families we serve, we have provided some helpful grief support links below:
Healing from loss is a journey, and everyone experiences grief differently. A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through these multi-week groups, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way from others who are dealing with similar experiences. Talking with other people who understand what you’re experiencing brings great comfort, normalizes the grief experience, and offers a supportive environment to work through your grief. Please visit www.griefshare.org to learn more or to locate a group near you.
Grief support groups provide a safe environment where one can tell his or her story and express feelings freely, knowing that others will be understanding, non-judgmental, and supportive. They are a place for establishing a connection with others to decrease the isolation that grief brings and a forum for understanding common myths about grief and typical grief patterns. We are fortunate to have local grief support groups available for an in-person support experience. The First United Methodist Church of London, Ohio, located at 52 North Main Street, London, Ohio 43140, hosts a regular grief support group. For information regarding meeting days and times, questions about the program, or any other inquiries, please contact Mrs. Beverly Hume, 614-746-3962, untanglifesknots@gmail.com. Please also feel free to visit the church's website at www.londonfumc.org.
