Living in a House of Grief with Elizabeth Smelski
At the beginning of our grief journey we just try to make it to the next minute or the next hour. As our journey continues, we realize we have to get through all of the “Firsts”. Many of these “Firsts” are very difficult – holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. The journey is long and difficult. However, what happens when you move into a home filled with grief?
Today Elizabeth Smelski joins us to share her personal story of grief and what she experienced when she moved in with her aunt and uncle who had recently suffered the loss of their young son.
We welcome your comments and questions! Send an email to hopethrugrief@gmail.com (mailto:hopethrugrief@gmail.com) and please share our show with anyone you know that is struggling with loss and grief. You can find us on the internet to continue the conversation!

Faith, Hope, & GriefShare with Steve Grissom
It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right now. If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you’ve probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel. This can be a confusing time when you feel isolated and have many questions about things you’ve never faced before.
Steve and Cheryl Grissom founded Church Initiative in 1993. In 1998, Church Initiative reached an important milestone by releasing the first edition of GriefShare, a video-based support group that comes alongside grieving individuals. Now in its third edition, GriefShare continues to grow and reach more individuals every year. Currently, over 20,000 churches are equipped with one or more Church Initiative ministry programs.
Join us today for a hope filled discussion with Steve Grissom! You’ll hear his journey and the hope that GriefShare brings to so many each day. Steve and Marshall, both veterans of GriefShare, share the hope that they have experienced as attendees and for Steve and his wife Shelly, GriefShare Group leaders.
To find out more or join a GriefShare group please visit their website: https://www.griefshare.org (https://www.griefshare.org)
