Love is the root of grief. Losing someone you love hurts, and there is no right or wrong way to grieve any type of loss. Those who have experienced the death of a loved one know that grief is a complex combination of emotions that can have an overwhelming effect on you and your body.
Over time, you will begin to heal. While your journey through grief never truly comes to an end, you will experience a new normal. As always, we are here to walk through grief with you. Please reach out to us if we can be of support.
For additional grief support and guidance on all that follows the death of a loved one, please visit our Everything After and Brighter Mornings page.
We also host several grief care gatherings and events throughout the year to offer those who are grieving a chance to talk about their journey, receive support, and feel less alone. Keep reading to learn more about our group.
The Friends Group was created to benefit individuals affected by the loss of a loved one. We facilitate the development of new friendships with others in the area who are also continuing on their grief journey. We gather to chat and support each other all while going on interesting tours to local sites or participating in various activities in the community.
The group is open to anyone regardless of how long ago you lost your loved one. Depending on the activity, a minor fee might be requested to offset costs. As one member states: “It is like having that extra shoulder to lean on. It is a very warm and exciting group to be a part of.”
Please contact us at the funeral home to find out about upcoming events and to join this group.
The holiday season can add to an already difficult time of grieving. We host as a special service each year to honor loved ones and support families as they navigate celebrating holidays with an absence of their loved one. This service offers beautiful music and words of healing.
