Grief & Loss Resources
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
​
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
​
No one can really feel or remove another's pain, but everyone can walk beside and support another who is sorrowful. Please find resources here that may aid in your grieving and the support of others who have experienced loss.

Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief
​
"Each person's grief is as unique as their fingerprint. But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed. That doesn't mean needing someone to try to lessen it or reframe it for them. The need is for someone to be fully present to the magnitude of their loss without trying to point out the silver lining."
