- Grief Support -

While dealing with grief is not easy, we believe the resources within this section of our website can help. Should you need additional support in grieving your loss, please call us. We will do everything we can to assist you.

Grieving with Purpose

No one is prepared for grief. The rush of feelings, the thoughts, anxieties, and heartache can take us by surprise and drive us to our knees. Yet, when we choose to harness that power for self-growth, amazing things can happen. Good can come from pain.

Sigmund Freud first brought up the concept of grief work in 1917, and today the idea that bereavement is purpose-driven continues. Dr. James Worden chose to see the work of bereavement as task-oriented:

  • To accept the reality of the loss
  • To process the pain of grief
  • To adjust to a world without the deceased
  • To find an enduring connection with the deceased in the midst of embarking on a new life

Your current job is to focus your attention on achieving each of those goals. It will not occur in any logical order; each of us is different and the path we walk in the bereavement journey is not a straight one.

Dealing with grief is hard work. It takes both courage and hard work to successfully adapt to the loss of a significant person in your life.

Here for You Through Grief

We are committed to supporting you throughout your grief journey. This includes providing care, empathy, and guidance before, during, and after the service. Whether you need help navigating your emotions, finding local resources, or simply comforting assurance that your feelings are valid, we are here for you every step of the way.

Understanding the Grieving Process

Grief is not bound by a specific timeline, and emotions can arrive in unpredictable waves. Some days may feel more manageable, while others can inundate you with profound sadness, anger, or uncertainty.


We want to reassure you that all these feelings are entirely normal. There is no “correct” way to grieve, and no urgency to “move on” until you feel prepared.


We encourage you to celebrate your loved one in ways that resonate with you—whether through treasured memories, enduring traditions, or subtle acts of remembrance. Healing is an intimately personal journey, and solace can be found in various forms: personal reflection, professional support, or the solidarity of community.
