Restore

Grief Mentoring

Someone to guide you through a season of grief

When a loved one passes, the grief can feel overwhelming, and hope may seem out of reach. Through Restore Mentoring, we connect you with a compassionate mentor who will walk alongside you, offering support and guidance as you journey through your grief and towards renewed hope.

One-on-One Mentoring Sessions

In these personal sessions, you’ll find comfort, understanding, and a space for healing. Our mentors are here to help you process your loss, find strength, and discover hope for the future. You don’t have to face this alone—Restore Mentoring is here for you.

What people are saying about their Restore experiences

"The most valuable part was the ability to speak to someone who knew where I was coming from. That’s an incredible feeling."

"Learning that grief is a process that everyone does differently and in their own time and that God meets you wherever you are was extremely valuable."

"The one-on-one time together each week with the book to guide discussions was so valuable."
