ST. JAMES, NY — A weekly support group for those who have experienced the death of a loved one is coming to St. James. "GriefShare," a 13-session program, is set to be held at 10 a.m. on Wednesdays from Jan. 12 through April 6, 2022, in the St. James Lutheran Church Library, according to a news release. GriefShare is slated to be hosted by Bonnie Spiegel and Deacon James Lundgren, long-time caregivers at St. James Lutheran Church. Each session will include an encouraging, information-packed video featuring leading grief recovery experts, a group discussion about the video content, and a workbook for journaling and personal study exercises that reinforce the weekly session topics. GriefShare is offered free of charge to all members of the community seeking bereavement support. The program was completely paid for by a grant from St. James Funeral Home, owned and operated by the Maher family. St. James Lutheran Church is at the corner of Woodlawn and Second avenues in St. James. If you would like to make a reservation, you can call 631-584-5212.
