Next Meeting: March 30, 7:00PM  Project Chrysalis is a ministry offering hope through Sacred Scripture and community to parents or grandparents who have lost a child or grandchild. While this ministry is not a bereavement group, our mission is to offer support and hope through scripture in a time of transformation. For more information, including the Zoom invitation link, contact Deacon Ken Billinger at 913-634-4210 or email kbillinger@archkck.org. The group is open to parents who have lost a child or grandparents who have lost a grandchild.

 

Grief support groups are free and available to anyone in the community who has experienced a loss.  Generally, they meet once or twice a month year round.  These groups are beneficial because they provide a place to begin sharing your grief with others who have suffered a loss. They also promote building long-term supportive relationships.

The following is a list of on-going grief support groups located throughout the area. Contact locations directly for more information.

Beginning Experience Ministry

This is a peer grief ministry for separated, divorced and widowed persons. The loss of a loved one through separation, divorce, or death is one of life’s most traumatic experiences. It can result in nearly unbearable feelings of loneliness and grief. Many people who have suffered this loss feel left out by their church, uneasy around married friends, unsure of themselves and uncertain about their futures.

Beginning Experience of Greater Kansas City, Inc. offers a continuum of programs to help those who have lost a marital relationship due to death, divorce or separation move through the experience of grief and loss into a future with hope renewed. Each program is presented by those who have suffered such losses themselves and are willing to share their experience to help others.
