Grief Support
Everyone goes through the process of grief differently. The stages of grief do not necessarily go in order, and there is no specific timetable for the length or timing of each stage. It can be a complicated process. It is important to be patient with yourself and to work through these intense emotions in your own way.
Learn2cope.org offers this brochure & there are several groups listed (in no particular order) below.
Grief Share
It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right now. If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you’ve probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel.
This can be a confusing time when you feel isolated and have many questions about things you’ve never faced before.
“Going to GriefShare feels like having warm arms wrapped around you when you’re shivering.”
GriefShare groups meet weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life.
