During your loved one’s illness, you may be too busy with care-giving to feel the full weight of your loss. After he or she passes away, your grief may come suddenly or happen over time, and the depth of your feelings may surprise you. It's important that you get care for your emotional and spiritual health; understanding grief and the feelings attached to it are important steps in healing.
Lean on us when you need help coping with your loss. The bereavement team provides one-on-one counseling, grief education, workshops, a children’s loss program and other resources. You can also join one of our grief support groups where you can find strength in being in a safe environment with others walking a similar path.
Children may experience grief differently than adults. You may not recognize the signs. Student support groups and one-on-one counseling can be vital in helping children cope. Let us help.
Kids can also join one of our six-week grief support programs in their school. These resources can also help your child cope with loss.
