Grief & Bereavement Services

There is no right or wrong way to grieve, but there are healthy ways to cope with the changes and feelings that occur after a loss. Our grief and bereavement counselors are here to support you as you prepare for a loved one’s death or to help you cope afterward.

Support the Bereaved

The grieving process doesn’t end in a set time—every loss is different. Be the person who provides a needed listening ear to the grieving person. Try to keep yourself free of distractions while the person speaks and give your attention to his/her words.

  • Get ideas for how to help someone in grief
  • Offer to help with a meal
  • Give a gift card to a restaurant or provide a meal through a delivery service such as DoorDash or Grubhub
  • Contribute to a cause which is meaningful to the family
  • Send a card and/or flowers
  • Attend the funeral or memorial service
  • Try offering specific help such as “I’d like to help by mowing your lawn for the rest of this month.”
