Honoured to be part of this amazing program for the community. Please reach out to The Merge page if you have any questions or would like to register. Space is limited.
GriefShare Grief Support Group
No matter what the circumstances, grief is a painful, confusing process. A GriefShare group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. At this 12-week support group program, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.
At each weekly meeting, you will view a video featuring respected counselors, pastors, and healthcare professionals on grief-related topics, plus you’ll hear relatable personal stories of grief. After that is a small-group discussion to allow people time to talk, share support, and personally apply what they learned on the video. Everyone will receive a book to take home filled with valuable exercises for navigating their personal grieving process.
Topics include how to manage grief-related emotions such as loneliness, anxiety, sadness, anger, and regret; how to cope with the changes in your life and relationships; and how to recognize what’s normal in grief and what to do if you feel stuck or hopeless.
GriefShare group participants have repeatedly shared that they feel comforted and encouraged by being in a place where people truly understand what they’re going through. And they feel a sense of relief when they’re given guidance and tips on how to deal with the daily challenges.
Your bereavement experience may be recent or not so recent. No matter how long it’s been, this is an opportunity to be around people who understand what you are feeling. If you have experienced the death of a family member or friend, you are invited to attend.
For more details, or to register for our new group starting Monday, September 15, 2025, direct message us on The Merge page. Sponsored by Wiseman's Funeral Homes. Space is limited for this program. First-come, first-served.

It has been almost 50 years since our funeral home was started on the Burin Peninsula. First known as Marystown Funeral Home, which is known today as Wiseman's Funeral Homes. Since that time we have extended into the towns of Burin, Fortune, Grand Bank and the surrounding communities to better meet the needs of the families we serve.
Today, Wiseman's Funeral Homes continues to meet the commitment that was started at that time, providing the care and compassionate services to our families and communities on the Burin Peninsula.
Over those many years our greatest strength has been our commitment to preserving the professionalism, dignity and traditional services that you have come to expect. While ensuring that we always provide the most up-to-date services and the widest range of options to those whom we serve, our funeral home has developed a reputation for bringing comfort to those in sorrow at the most troubling time in their lives.
We believe that this web site is in keeping with that commitment and we hope that in some small way that you will find it both informative and helpful.
More and more people are choosing to pre-arrange their affairs. They recognize that the funeral process can sometimes be very upsetting for surviving family members. That is why at Wiseman's Funeral Homes we help our families to predetermine every aspect of their service, thus removing unncessary anxiety for loved ones.
Losing a loved one is the hardest experience we will ever face in our lives. We wish to reassure you that the staff at Wiseman's Funeral Homes are available to help,listen and take care of the needs of your family and loved one. Let our presence and services help you through such a difficult time.
Serving the entire Burin Peninsula from four locations: Marystown, Burin, Fortune, Grand Bank and surrounding communities.
