When Beth Pope lost her 22-year-old son Rashid in a car crash, she wasn't sure if GriefShare would be the right fit. She was sad but also angry—angry with God for allowing this to happen.

What Beth found in GriefShare was a loving community. They listened to each other and provided a safe space to cry and lean into their grief. 231 people attended support groups this year, 83 attended contemplation groups, and we had a total of 715 prayer requests. Our Care team also personally connected with 635 people.

"At GriefShare, I could be myself. We're here for our church community in their best times, and most importantly, in their toughest. Even more, Christ is always there."
