Grief Ministry Facilitator's Guide

This new guide includes lesson plans for ten sessions of grief ministry training. Each session refers to a chapter in the companion textbook, Grief Ministry: Helping Others Mourn, and includes these components: - Purpose - Experience - Materials & Preparation - Homework - Opening Prayer - Closing Prayer - Instruction The authors outline everything you need-music, filmstrips, exercises, handouts, guest speakers, biblical readings, textbook readings-to successfully train your participants to serve the bereaved in your community. The lessons are outlined so that beginners can follow them step-by-step (down to what to say and do!), but are flexible enough for veteran facilitators to creatively adapt them to their own style. Plus, the authors provide all the handouts, exercises, meditations, guest speaker preparation sheet, and evaluation sheet-all tried and proven in their own grief ministry training programs! "I felt uplifted, spiritually touched and encouraged in a ministry to those hurting. Skillfully written, Grief Ministry Facilitator's Guide contains valuable resources and direction to those in grief counseling." - Marion Roos, RN, Hospice Director, McKennan Hospice, Sioux Falls, South Dakota "Anyone involved in the preparation of lay persons for pastoral visiting or bereavement support will be encouraged by the Grief Ministry Facilitator's Guide. The experiential nature of the program leaves both facilitator and participant spiritually enriched, theologically grounded, personally affirmed, engaged in their own healing, and equipped with valuable insights into the mourning process." - Mamie Dawson, Chaplain, Grey Nuns Hospital, Edmonton, Alberta
