Dear Friend,
Grief is one of life’s most profound experiences, and navigating loss within a faith community can bring both comfort and challenges. This questionnaire is designed to better understand how our community experiences and supports bereavement. Your insights will help us strengthen our ability to walk alongside one another during times of sorrow.
Why Your Voice Matters: Each of us carries unique experiences and perspectives on grief. By sharing your thoughts, you are contributing to a more compassionate and informed community—one where no one must face bereavement alone.
The information gathered will help guide future support initiatives. Thank you for taking the time to participate in this important conversation.
With appreciation,
