We have revamped our book club! First, we are going to be moving forward with a book every two months, rather than a book every month. This will give you more time to read the book, and not feel so rushed. Second, our books will be more like recommendations, not a requirement to read. You don’t have to read them if you aren’t interested or if it doesn’t necessarily apply to you.... Lastly, we will be working in more nonfiction and self-help books as well to diversify our book recommendations. Our book for February is Option B! Check out the link below to learn all about our new book.

There are all types of grief that people may be feeling right now, whether it’s the death of a loved one, or a different type of grieving: missing time with those you love, a postponed event, a job you may have lost. Every loss, no matter what type should be acknowledged. There are a lot of strategies to deal with grief and loss, so check out this article from the New York Times that deals with grief and loss during this time, no matter what it is.

Kind words from our community We strive to make the most difficult moments in life easy on you. Our hope is to make this time of mourning as peaceful as possible to allow you the time to grieve.

All too often, families discount the value of ceremony after the death of a loved one, and we certainly don’t want you to make that mistake. Coming together after a loss is a very essential part of the grieving process and gives everyone the opportunity to share memories, express emotions, and find comforting support. Whether you choose burial or cremation; whether you select a formal funeral or a more relaxed memorial service, the need for acknowledgment of the loss with family and friends is ever present.

Whether you are a professional working with someone grieving, a person supporting a friend or family member in grief, or if you are grieving yourself, learning ...more about grief is really important. #whatsyourgrief #griefsupport #understandinggrief https://whatsyourgrief.com/understanding-displacement-whil/
