Grief Support

“Grief is like the ocean; it comes on waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim.”

-Vicki Harrison

We are here for you as you go through the grieving process, no matter how long it’s been or what stage of the journey you’re on.  Please see the resources below for online grief communities.


If after some time has passed, you find your grief is overwhelming to the point of interfering with work, daily functions, or personal relationships, you may wish to speak to a professional grief therapist.
