Stronger Together! (Grief Group)

Open / Mixed Group

Bayside Baptist Church provides a safe environment for grieving children, teens and adults to explore and express their feelings.

Grief is a deep and powerful emotion caused by the loss of someone we held dear. Grief is part of loving and engaging with life. Loss is bound to come in this fallen world, and grief with it. Grief is not an emotion to be avoided, but one to acknowledge and walk through.

This is a Christian based support group. Grief is a normal expression of love after a loved one dies.

Everyone grieves — children, teens and adults — but we all grieve differently. Grief is normal, but it often feels very abnormal. Grief is an expression of love, and the only cure for grief is to allow yourself to grieve.

Grief is better shared, and you do not have to grieve alone. It’s important that we understand grief and how grief impacts us.

Grief involves the entire body. We grieve in five ways — physically, mentally, behaviorally, emotionally and spiritually.

Grief causes us to experience other losses as well. We lose part of ourselves — our security and our hope for the future. Share your grief – you don’t have to grieve alone.

Psalm 34:18 says that “the LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” God understands our grief and offers to be with us and comfort us with promises from His Word and with the “peace that passes all understanding” (Philippians 4:6–7).
