Abstract

This explanatory research examined the helpfulness of bereavement education in equipping individuals in a predominantly African-American church setting to cope with grief. The six-week partnership between the Second Baptist Church of Columbus, Ohio and the Hospice at Riverside and Grant Community Grief Program provided education, resources, and support to persons within the first year of grief related to the loss of a loved one. The self-reported findings confirmed that this use of didactic and processing activities could be used effectively in the church setting where persons have both affective and cognitive experiences and expressions of grief.
