Grief Support

Grief does not follow a schedule, and there is no right way to feel. These pages offer a few ideas for looking after yourself and the people around you.

Grief takes time

Sadness, anger, relief, and numbness are all common, sometimes in the same day. Be patient with yourself.

Rest when you can, eat regularly, and let people help with everyday tasks.

Talking with someone


A grief counselor, a support group, or a member of your faith community can help when grief feels heavy. Hospice organizations often offer bereavement support to families, even after care has ended.

If you are worried about your safety or someone else's, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.


Supporting someone who is grieving


You do not need the perfect words. Say their name, share a memory, and offer specific help, like a meal or a ride.

Keep checking in after the first weeks, when others have gone back to their routines.
