Offers Life-Changing Grief Template Training
Do you have a heart for those who have lost a loved one?
If so, consider becoming a LPCCI-certified Grief Facilitator. Grieving is an intense part of living. With the loss of a spouse, a child, a friend, or significant others, we grieve deeply. Each loss is different because our relationship with each person is so unique.
As Christians, we are charged with caring for one another emotionally, spiritually, and physically. In addition, Scripture gives specific commands to care for the "widows and orphans," and others like them who are hurting.
Did you know that 32% of women and 9% of men – age 55 and older – are widows or widowers? (2000 U.S. Census) These statistics speak volumes to us. Many are grieving, but oddly enough, those ministering to them are few.
Maneuvering through the Un-Chartered Waters of Grief© is a discipleship template designed to empower a Facilitator to effectively interact with clients who have lost a loved one. A Facilitator guides a participant (who is not in need of long-term therapy) through the grief discipleship process in a day-long facilitation or in five consecutive one-hour sessions.
In each of the sections of the grief process, the participant will examine a Scripture related to grief, discover the Scripture’s relevance to a personal grief event, and realize the ways God wants to bring hope and healing during this new season.
Join LPCCI Staff for a one-day intensive training which will earn you Grief Facilitator Certification and equip you to minister to Christians who are grieving. Our training includes:
- An overview of grief and the responses of those grieving.
- An overview of the Grief Template and the rationale for each of the five sections of the process.
- An explanation of the Facilitator’s role, as well as “what to expect” from the participants.
- Break Out sessions providing hands-on interaction with the Grief Template and other Facilitator tools.
What Others Are Saying About Grief Facilitations
Participants:
· “For the first time, since my Mother’s death, I realized why I had been hurting so badly. This one-day process has helped me to get ‘unstuck’ and to focus on ways I can minister to others. I have begun a new ministry and found creative ways to honor my Mother’s memory without feeing depressed and tearful.” DB
· “Although I had finally ‘forgiven’ the drunk driver, who killed my grandfather many years ago, I was still mourning. It was frustrating that I couldn’t figure out ‘why’ I felt numb. Through participation in the grief facilitation, I was comforted as I re-discovered Scriptures related to grief and I realized what I had ‘lost’ when my grandfather died. Thinking about the many ways he loved me and the roles he played in my life have given me an understanding of the significance of my loss and a joy in knowing that God can use my loss to help me minister to others as a wounded healer.” SC
· “Although I had talked openly about the death of my best friend to cancer prior to being involved in the grief discipleship process, I had always held a tight rein on my emotions, keeping all the hurt and grief bottled up inside. This process allowed me to finally express my emotions and begin genuine healing without feeling that to do so was a lack of faith or trust in God. I never would have thought that this process would give me the ability to laugh and cry as I recalled special memories”. JD
Facilitators:
· “The night before I facilitated my first grief process, I was concerned whether this ministry would leave me sad and depressed at the end of the day. During the process, I was shocked at my own emotions as we laughed, cried, and celebrated the loved one’s life. We left the facilitation on a spiritual high, at peace, hopeful, and exuberant about God’s presence and the positive impact it made on both of us”. KMB
· “I have loved being a Stephen’s Minister. I felt equipped by the many hours of training I had participated in, yet, there was one area where I felt inadequate- grief and the death of a loved one. I am overjoyed to have the grief facilitation discipleship process as a framework for walking with a Christian who is grieving. This is an invaluable tool!” SF
