Tools to help you through your grief journey
No one stumbles upon a grief and loss website just for fun. You likely landed here because you or a loved one are suffering through an unbelievable heartbreak or loss that makes you question when the deep pain will ever end.
Discussing grief is not part of our society, even though we will all experience it. Media and movies rarely portray the true messiness of grief, where you may falter, fall, slip back or have moments of complete confusion about what’s next. Grief has no easy fix: no pill or syrup you can take, no bandage you can wrap. It just takes time to heal.
Grief is undoubtedly complicated and difficult. Perhaps that’s why the topic is so taboo.
Although nothing can fully prepare us for the reality of death or devastating loss, equipping yourself with knowledge, support and the right resources can help you understand your emotions, find ways to cope and ultimately discover a way to live with grief as you move forward.
Whether you’re seeking information on getting your affairs in order or finding ways to cope with loss, begin here.
The death of a loved one or pet, a divorce or the end of a job are all major losses people grieve.
Grief is a challenging time requiring support, understanding and resources to help pave the way forward.
““We live in a grief-illiterate society. This is why many people who have recently lost a loved one have no familiarity with or understanding of grief, which can deepen and prolong their feelings of pain and heartache... Going through grief takes time, energy and understanding, but it is not an easy road. By demystifying death, we can alleviate some of the pain and loneliness experienced by those who lose someone.” ”
