Preparing for the Death of a Loved One

Grieving is an important process that requires more time than people often acknowledge or allow. Support during time of bereavement can help bring healing, renewal, and hope for the future.

Family and friends can be a great source of comfort. Expressing your feelings with them can help you in the grieving process. You also may wish to link up with resources in the community that offer comfort, support, referrals, and services, when needed.
