The period of grieving is a natural part of the process of healing after a loss. Healing is possible when we allow ourselves to identify and understand our feelings as they arise. Participating in grief education classes and individual or group counseling can:

  • enhance the healing process.
  • reduce the sense of isolation
  • provide the opportunity to share experiences, thoughts and feelings
  • with others who are in similar situations
  • lead to personal growth
