While some are looking forward to what 2017 will bring, others are struggling with a future that will not include a loved one whose death they are grieving. Whether the death was recent or occurred months or years ago, grief’s pain affects not only oneself but one’s relationships with others.

If you are feeling frustrated because it seems no one understands the depth of grief you bear, consider being part of the GriefShare class which Sun Lakes United Methodist Church will be hosting January 11 through March 22. The class will meet Wednesdays from 1:00-2:30 p.m. in Room Three of the church’s education building.

Each class is self-contained, so if you are not able to attend every class, you are welcome to come as often as you can. The class registration fee of $15 covers the cost of the workbook. Deadline to register is Wednesday, January 4. For more information or to register contact Pastor Jean at 480-895-8766 or go to the church website at www.sunlakesumc.org.
