West Suburban Grief Coalition
Weekly meetings of the West Suburban Grief Coalition (WSGC) are held each Thursday at a host church (see WSGC link below to find the current location of the meetings). There is a social time from 4 - 4:30 pm, speaker from 4:30 - 5 pm, and break-out sessions from 5 - 6 pm. (The group breaks into specific loss groups: spousal loss, child loss, friends and family loss.)
The program is the combined effort of fifteen area churches and intended to help adults grieving from the death of a loved one, whether that death was three weeks ago, three years ago, or ten years ago. Each week a learning and growing experience is offered through professional speakers, videos and break-out sessions. The break-out sessions are facilitated by volunteers trained in support group facilitation; participants may share their experiences in a safe, caring and confidential setting that offers the hope of healing. There is no charge for these sessions and church affiliation is not required.
