If You Are Grieving
Finding Comfort After Loss
Grief is a natural response to losing someone you love. There’s no timetable and no “right way.” Whether your loss is recent or years past, you deserve compassion, patience, and care.
You Are Not Alone
Our community walks alongside neighbors who are grieving—through conversation, listening, and simple presence. If you’d like additional support, see our Grief Support Group page.
What You May Feel
It’s common to notice waves of sadness, fatigue, sleep changes, irritability, or numbness. These experiences often come and go. If your grief makes daily life very difficult or isn’t easing over time, extra support can help.
Gentle Ways to Cope
- Be kind to your body: rest, hydration, simple meals, and light movement.
- Share your story with safe people who listen without judgment.
- Express feelings—journaling, prayer/meditation, art, or talking aloud to your loved one.
- Create gentle rituals: photos, favorite music, lighting a candle, or a small memorial.
