AFTERCARE

Every person has to cope with the loss of a loved one in their own way. Sometimes friends and family are not enough to help get you through these difficult times. For this reason, we offer a short list of helpful websites that are specialized in aiding with the coping and healing process. We have provided some helpful grief support links below:

Crisis, Grief and Healing

Webhealing.com, the first interactive grief website on the internet, offers discussion boards, articles, book suggestions, and advice for men and women working through every aspect of grief.
