Additional Grief Resources

GRIEF SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE FOR AMHERST & BEYOND

Losing a loved one is a time of great trepidation. The funeral services and process of burying someone you love can be healing and help to give closure but it will not entirely remove the feeling of grief, uncertainty and sometimes despair you feel when returning to your life without that person. In times like this, it is important to remember you are never alone and never without options. Below is a list of resources to help you along your way.
