Grieve together, in a small circle
Cherish is an intimate group — never more than ten — meeting weekly to share safely, be heard, and build a little community of support. Online, and always beginning with a free connection call.
A small, intimate group
Never more than 10 people, so everyone can be heard.
Weekly, over six weeks
6 gentle sessions of an hour and a half, online, on zoom.
A safe place to share
Grieve together, at your own pace, held with warmth and faith.
A free connection call first
We meet before you begin — no cost, no pressure, no obligation.
What we explore together
Each week has its own gentle focus. You don't need to have read anything or prepared — just come as you are.
1Love and loss↓
Grief is the slow, confusing, aching part of love that no one prepares you for — and it's completely normal to feel the way you do. Part of this journey is simply learning what grief is, how it shows up, and why it feels the way it does. Through all of it, God isn't waiting for you on the other side. He's with you in the loss.
2The waves of grief↓
Grief doesn't stay still — it comes and goes in ways that can feel unpredictable. Those shifts you're experiencing aren't signs that something is wrong; they're part of how grief moves through a person. You'll also find a faithful way to bring your raw, unfiltered feelings to God — not polished, not tidy, just honest.
3Anger, guilt & the hard questions↓
There are parts of grief that feel heavier and harder to talk about — the anger, the guilt, and all the “why” questions that sit quietly underneath everything. Here you’re invited to bring them into the open without shame, held honestly and with grace rather than judgment.
4Grief and the people around us↓
Grief can make you feel cut off from others, even from the people you love most. Part of this journey is easing that sense of isolation and slowly building a small circle of support — people who can sit with you, check in, and hold space for what you're carrying.
5Adjusting, hope & purpose in the pain↓
Looking ahead doesn't mean moving on or leaving your person behind. It's about finding small ways to carry their love with you, even as life slowly shifts around the loss — letting hope return in quiet moments, and discovering purpose that sits alongside the pain rather than replaces it.
