Grief is not an illness, but rather a natural and necessary journey that follows the death of someone we love.  As such, it deserves our attention and respect, as well as the support of others, if we are to heal.
     In this area, we offer practical direction and emotional support in better understanding the grieving process. Here you’ll learn about such topics as coping with serious illness, helping yourself with grief and helping others with grief.
