Mourner's Path
“A safe place to express grief”
Walking the Mourner’s Path is a Christ-centered, eight-week, non-denominational grief program. The classes will consist of a series of lessons built on the stages of grieving from denial to acceptance. A clergy is present at all sessions, which are led by two trained bereavement facilitators.
The purpose of the program is to transform grief into joyful living. Walking the Mourner’s Path offers the outstretched hand of Christ, inviting those who have felt the intensity of grief to come into our Lord’s loving presence and experience the abundance of His tender mercies. The workbook is based on scripture.
The program is distinct from many others in that we are Christ-centered and church based. Walking the Mourner’s Path is not group therapy, but is spiritually directed. We believe grieving is not a lack of faith but a natural part of living. Through the eight-week support group, complete with workbook, mourners will learn ways in which they may honor their loved ones, seek spiritual direction and discover Christ’s promise of comfort.
Walking the Mourner’s Path is a non-profit ministry. However, there is a nominal cost to cover program materials. Scholarships are available for those who may need them. No one is ever turned away due to a lack of funds.
