Pastoral counselors and church leaders will find the free online leader's guide an invaluable tool for facilitating grief support groups.

A turning point is a special moment in which we are faced with tragedy, success, a choice, our own past, or change.  In such moments we have the opportunity to turn to God for healing, growth, and renewal.  We must recognize that also within these moments is the danger of turning to bitterness, self-absorption, and denial.
