Grief Support

We're Here for You

Grief is a perfectly normal and acceptable emotion following the loss of a treasured loved one. Support from family and friends is essential in resolving the difficult issues you will face in creating a life without that person. You have suffered a tremendous loss and, as you begin your emotional journey through mourning and grief, our thoughts are with you. In the year following your loss, you will receive a series of four booklets that are part of our continued care and bereavement support.

Support Groups

GriefShare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life's most difficult experiences. You don't have to go through the grieving process alone. Find a GriefShare support group or event near you www.griefshare.org.
