GRIEF MENTORS ARE CALLED TO A UNIQUE MINISTRY
As a grief mentor you will develop the unique ability to come alongside family, friends and your community when death occurs. Many people simply do not know what to say to a grieving person. Sometimes well-meaning friends and family feel uncomfortable around grief, and even the griever may reject their own grief.

Session 1 – Recognizing Grief It is so important to understand grief and recognize the person experiencing grief. Most often the griever does not understand their emotion resulting in complications of their grief journey. If you are going to assist the griever, you have to recognize what grief is and its impact on individual lives.


Session 2 – Defining Grief​ In order for you to recognize grief you must have an understanding of the many types of grief, how they affect the griever, and have the ability to offer wisdom and insight.

Session 3 – Grief’s Emotional Roller Coaster Typically most grievers will experience a roller coaster of emotions. Some days will be extremely difficult and some will be manageable and others can be agreeable. The challenge is that sometimes grief emotions can be buried somewhere and when least expected surface in the forms of sorrow, tears, anger and many various emotions.
GRIEF PATTERNS
Grief is uniquely different for every person and you will learn that no two people ever grieve the same way. The numerous patterns of grief can change within the same person day by day and week by week. The manner in which grief impacts the person has a profound effect on virtually every decision of their life.

Session 1 – Practical Understanding of Normal Grief Patterns Most grief patterns are easy to recognize and deal with. But sometimes the patterns become interacting and cause the griever additional heartache. We will begin with the basic types of grief, known as healthy grieving. As you continue through the Modules you will be exposed to various types and stages of complicated grieving.

Session 2 – Ministering As a Grief Mentor Now that you have the awareness and desire to become a grief mentor, the next step is to understand how to put that desire into a practical application.

After the death of both of her parents Pam attended a grief group with the purpose of finding some resolution in her journey of grief. During that time she realized for the first time what her mother went through after the death of her dad. Now empathetic to the grief of others, Pam became a grief group leader.

Session 3 – What Grievers Want You To Know One of the essential keys in understanding the person in grief is to listen to them, discern their needs and ultimately encourage them in their healthy grief journey.
