When the death of a loved one happens, time seems to stop and every emotion is heightened. Friends and loved ones may try to help, but they may lack the training to truly comfort you during the extended/extensive process. Grief follows the loss of a treasured life because daily life has been thrown into chaos.

The ensuing emotional and physical pain is overwhelming. There may be unexpected feelings, ranging from pervasive sadness to profound anger. Coping with death takes time and outside help.

Grief Support Resources
Coping with loss is overwhelming. You may want to explore certain topics more or connect with others who are experiencing a similar reaction to this natural part of life. If you are providing grief support to others, discover what gives them comfort. Ask them to share their favorite memories of their loved one. Let them call or text you as needed, but you may need to set boundaries and establish times when you are available to listen. Perform little acts of love like cooking a meal or bringing them a book.
