Grief Support
There is no timetable for grief. Your bereavement experience may be recent or years may have passed. Many grieving people discover they are only beginning the work of healing when friends or family have returned to their daily life routines. You will learn valuable tools to help guide you through your journey to create your new normal life while renewing your hope for the future. This group is open for anyone who has suffered a significant loss and would like a place to process their experience. All are welcome to attend regardless of church affiliation or membership.
If you are interested in attending, please contact Pastor Ed Volfe.
Our grief support group is currently on pause
Our Melissa congregation has a grief support group meeting every Thursday at 2pm in the Melissa UMC worship space. They welcome you to join. Keep an eye on this space for more information on when our group will resume meeting. If you have an emergency need, please call the church office at 972-562-8556 and press 3 to reach our pastoral care line.
Read what two of our group members say about
their experience:
“I don’t feel so alone seeing others in the group. I have made friends and a closeness that you don’t share with just anyone. Compassion, kindness and understanding are all great healing powers.”
“The small group setting was very helpful in sharing real life experiences we are all facing.”
