Restore Mentoring
Finding peace in the midst of grief.
Living with grief is not a journey anyone chooses. It can be painful, difficult, and life-altering. Whether your loss is recent or in the past, the grieving process can feel overwhelming.
Our trained volunteer mentors, who have experienced loss, can offer guidance, support, and encouragement as you navigate this season. You'll discover what to expect and how to cope with all the changes in your life.
Together, you will explore questions such as:
- How do I move forward without my loved one?
- What do I do with the different emotions I’m experiencing?
- Is it okay to be angry with God?
- Am I taking too long to grieve?
To get started, create an account and tell us more about yourself and your story. A staff member will be in touch with you soon.
We currently only offer one-on-one mentoring for Restore, but we’d be happy to help you find a GriefShare group near you if you’d prefer to be in a group.
We do our best to match you as soon as possible, but sometimes the process can take a few weeks (depending on the availability of our mentors and the specifics of your needs). We will keep you updated along the way, and we’re happy to recommend additional resources while you’re on the waiting list.
While any type of loss can be extremely challenging, Restore is only for those who have lost a loved one. We’d love to connect you with resources that better fit your needs, so feel free to contact us about this.
You must be at least 18 years of age to participate.
Restore is an individual mentoring program.
Our mentors are trained volunteers who are spiritually and emotionally healthy. Mentors go through extensive training and are required to participate in ongoing trainings throughout the year.
A variety of factors are used to determine the best match, including location, availability, age, and type of loss.
Mentoring sessions take place at a neutral, safe location, not the home of the participant or mentor. Possible locations include a room or office at your church, a local restaurant, the library, or an office conference room.
We use a structured curriculum developed by North Point Ministries and written by two of our staff members that have lost loved ones.
There is no cost to participate in Restore. A workbook is provided for each participant.
