Offer in collaboration theopportunity to “SHARE” Understanding Bereavement

Grief is painful and can often be an overwhelming process. We cannot simply put a plaster over grief: it must be processed. Grief can be confusing, but it can be a huge source of comfort to know that there are people you can call upon to support you; to sit with you, listen without judgment, and offer help when you need it.

Grief is a common experience, yet so often, people try to endure it alone. The kind of support you need can change from day-to-day or even hourly.

Some days you may need practical support, perhaps a meal cooked for you or someone to drive you to an appointment. Other times you might need emotional support; a shoulder to cry on and talk with about your loss. Needs change, but surrounding yourself with a network of people who are accepting and available to you when you need them is a valuable asset.While being alone at home surrounded by memories may have advantages for a time, sharing loss with others in a safe confidential space, offers support, comfort, and a safe space to talk about your grief.

Our stories, as part of a collective group, can protect us and those with whom we share, from alienation and isolation.Sharing our thoughts and feelings of loss can offer untold positive, emotional and physical health outcomes and therefore is a key factor in the healing process.

Sharing with others in a similar position can “normalise” our bereavement experiences for us and also enable those grieving to gain support from others who have also endured loss. In short, through sharing, we find connection, and through making connections, we can begin to heal.No two losses are the same. Everyone grieves in a unique way - even close family members experiencing the same loss will respond differently.

The right of individuals to grieve in their own way should be respected - we can compare our experiences, but we should not judge.

Talking openly about grief and loss can be difficult. It can feel uncomfortable discussing the death of a loved one and the accompanying pain that we have previously only shared when telling a carefully worded version of our experience.Grief can be unpredictable in its manifestation, timing and intensity. Yet, there are always threads that can be connected to the experience of others.

The loss of a loved one is a natural part of our human experience: You – or someone you know and care for- do not have to feel alone in their suffering. Last Friday of each month.

Sessions for the purpose of comfort, support and confidence -building. Trained counsellors will facilitate sessions at Pilar Christian Community Church in Conference Room.

Aglow International here in Pilar.    

There was a vibrant Aglow group in Torrevieja until 2019. Then Covid 19 hit…

A new English-speaking Aglow Chapter has started here on the Costa, and a member chapter of the European English Aglow. All nationalities are welcome – though helpful if English is understood – even if not spoken with total confidence yet.

Aglow “is a dynamic, global Kingdom movement made up of women and men with a single purpose: to see God's will done on earth as it is in Heaven.” Women praying for each other, their neighbours, towns and nations is so powerful.

The power and blessings manifest when these women prayed together was what drew me back after my first Aglow meeting. I wanted more!Aglow began 1967 and is now a Global Kingdom Group – there is even a men´s branch, though men do now attend the ladies´ groups in many parts of the world.

Pilar Christian Community Church in Pilar de la Horadada is, at the moment, the host venue for Aglow Pilar.

Next meeting will be on Sat 7th October will run from 10:00 am – 12:00 noon and will include prayer, praise & worship and testimony. If you want a deeper understanding of how the Holy Spirit moves in today´s world - come. We fully expect God to turn up at each meeting.

Fully expect each meeting to be Spirit-filled. Aglow is a place where we will actively pursue, actively listen, actively wait on the things of the Holy Spirit.Meetings will take place every other month.


Next Meeting Sat 7th October 2023.

Then Sat 2nd December 2023.

First meeting in 2024 will be held on Sat 3rd February.
