GriefShare group to start March 4 at St. Mark’s

February 11, 2024

If you’ve lost a loved one, you know the anguish and the hollow place that once was filled with that precious person. How does life even work when such a powerful bond is severed? Cecilia Cronk knows these feelings. She lost her husband, Homer, in 2018, after 54 years of marriage. Three months after Homer died, Cecelia decided to join a GriefShare support group. She knows the strength it provided for her and the value of the connections made in those meetings, with others who understood. Now she is helping to start a GriefShare group at St. Mark’s. The group will start its first 13-week session at St. Mark’s at 7 p.m., Monday, March 4. “Going to GriefShare meetings was such a comfort after Homer died,” Cecelia said. “I learned that it is OK that my grief journey was not the same as everyone else’s.” Read more to learn how to participate.
