Our Ministry and participation are rooted in bringing hope and support to those who are suffering deeply for the loss of their loved ones. Our role is to help the bereaved reconstruct meaning and find hope in their lives, to trust and take the risk to love again. We not only have to bury the dead but also minister those who are burdened by the loss.

Unfortunately, many of us deal with the death of our loved ones in myriad ways, experiencing the pain of grief and sadness of separation in isolation and many a times, in shock and numbness. Support and comfort are administered to the bereaved through the SFX Grief Support group where members of the ministry are trained to show empathy and compassion in accompanying the bereaved through their journey of grief. Video aided programs, weekly “Grief support group” to facilitate members to participate and help each other in the grieving process. We devise a variety of topics for discussion from the description of grief to coping with the holidays, anniversaries, the disorientation, anger, feeling of abandonment and ways of remembering.
