Support after a death or another major loss, for adults, teens and children.
There's No Right Way to Grieve

Understanding Grief
What grief is
Grief is the response to losing someone or something that mattered: a person, a pregnancy, a marriage, health, a home, a future you had pictured. It is not an illness. It can bring sadness, anger, guilt, relief and numbness, sometimes all in one afternoon.
How it moves
Grief doesn't follow stages in order. It comes in waves that are close together at first and further apart with time, and it often returns on birthdays, holidays and anniversaries. People in the same family grieve differently, which can feel lonely.
What helps
Time, people who will listen without hurrying you, and room for both the memories and the pain. Counseling offers that room, and help with the practical parts: getting through hard dates, talking with children about the loss, and returning to daily life without feeling you are leaving the person behind.
When to reach out
Any time you want company in it. It's especially worth reaching out when, many months on, the grief is as heavy as it was at the start, or when it is hard to eat, sleep or work.
