Grief Support

Grief is a natural response to loss, yet it can bring unexpected emotions that may feel overwhelming. Everyone processes grief in their own way, and there is no right or wrong way to mourn. It’s important to allow yourself time and space to work through your feelings, as healing looks different for everyone. If you’re seeking guidance, there are many resources available, from online information about the stages of grief to local support groups where you can connect with others who understand your experience.

We are here to support you during this difficult time. Below, we’ve gathered a few thoughtful reminders to help you care for yourself and others who may also be grieving.

Caring for Yourself
While Grieving

Grieving can be emotionally and physically exhausting, making self-care an essential part of the healing process. While everyone copes differently, try to prioritize rest, nutrition, and gentle movement, even when it feels difficult. Allow yourself to feel your emotions without judgment, and seek comfort in activities that bring you peace—whether that’s journaling, spending time in nature, or talking to a trusted friend. Grief is not something you have to go through alone; reaching out for support can be a vital step toward healing.

Understanding the Grieving Process

Grief does not follow a set timeline, and emotions may come in waves. Some days may feel manageable, while others bring deep sadness, anger, or confusion. Understanding that these feelings are normal can help ease the pressure of "moving on" too quickly. Finding ways to honor your loved one—through memories, traditions, or small acts of remembrance—can provide comfort and meaning. Whether you find solace in personal reflection, professional counseling, or community support, know that there is no right or wrong way to grieve.

Helping Children
Cope with Loss

Children experience grief differently than adults and may not always have the words to express their emotions. They may ask repeated questions, display sudden mood changes, or appear unaffected at times. Providing them with a safe space to talk, play, or process their feelings at their own pace can be incredibly helpful. Reassure them that their emotions are valid and that they are not alone. Books, counseling, and age-appropriate activities can be useful tools in helping children navigate loss while feeling supported and understood.
