Grief Resources
 Death is difficult for everyone. Even if you have experienced a loss yourself, it is still difficult to console someone close to you who has suffered a loss. Grief is our body's natural ability to heal our emotional injury. It is a very personal process. No one truly knows what another feels. Although one can be comforted by their faith, the pain of missed loved ones is the present reality. Each person needs to grieve in their own way and time.
What you can do
- Give the bereaved the opportunity to talk about the deceased
- Share memories
- Validate that grieving is normal
- Ask how you can help
The best support you can offer the bereaved is to listen and be understanding. You don't need to say much, you just need to be there for them.
Listed below are a few links to resources we hope are helpful in providing information for support and encouragement in coping with a loss.

A Final Note
During the first few days after a death, family and friends surround you. You are busy planning the funeral and may not have time to think about yourself until later when you are alone with your grief. You can expect to experience a wide range of emotions. It is important to eat healthy, take time to be alone with your thoughts, but also, spend time talking with family and friends about your loss.
