CARY, N.C. -

It has been almost one month since a Cary mother disappeared, and was later found dead.

Friends and neighbors say their community still coping with Nancy Cooper's death.

Full Coverage: Nancy Cooper Murder Case

Thursday night, Saint Francis United Methodist Church held a "grief share" session in Cary.

"I can sense that the landscape has changed," said Pastor Tom Hollis. "The feeling of community and family has been touched by this tragedy, by this act of violence and evil which we don't like to think is in our midst."

Organizers say it's not a memorial or celebration of Nancy's life, but more of a chance for people having a tough time dealing with her death to talk about it in an intimate setting.

"The main feeling I would say is one of, I think probably, spiritual renewal would be a good way to put it." said Linda Richardson, a  Grief Share Facilitator with the church.  "Everyone was really finding the music very healing."

About a dozen people showed up for the session.

No one has been charged in Cooper's murder, and police have yet to name a suspect.
