When a loss takes place, you may experience a wide range of emotions. One can grieve the death of a loved one, a broken relationship, or a failed dream. There is no real order or rule to the grieving process. Feelings like sadness, anger, or confusion are normal and common reactions to loss. You may not be prepared for the intensity and duration of your emotions or how swiftly your moods may change. You may even begin to doubt the stability of your mental health. But be assured that these feelings are healthy and appropriate and will help you come to terms with your loss.

Heal Grief: HealGrief®, is a social support network that is there when everyone else goes away, and the real grieving begins. HealGrief® provides the tools and resources to guide one’s journey with grief into healthy personal growth.

WYG (What's your grief?): To put it simply, this website is about grief. That probably sounds oversimplified, but grief is a complex, heavy, frustrating, scary, enormous…ahem, big topic. It requires us to navigate the world without someone important, deal with complex feelings and emotions, and figure out ways to move forward when everything seems kind of bleak.

Grief Share: GriefShare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you’ve probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel. 

• Some groups have one-time registration fees (about $20 depending on the group)

Grief in Common: The journey of grief provides an opportunity for great personal growth, reflection, and resilience that only the greatest challenges in our lives can design. By creating a profile that outlines who you are, who you’ve lost, and the circumstances surrounding that loss, our hope is that you will find a connection with someone who understands.
