Online Grief Support Resources

Grief | ​ɡrēf/ | noun

1. deep sorrow, especially that caused by someone's death. 

Overcoming Grief

During times of loss, we can expect to experience a wide array of negative emotions. For many people, these ease with time even if they never quite pass entirely. Some of us who experience such strong feelings of grief, however, find it hard to overcome these negative emotions. Compounded grief can quickly build up and become debilitating. The loss of a loved one is never easy. It is, in fact, one of the hardest things that a person can experience. We come to expect our friends and family will be with us forever, unable to foresee a future without them. If you are having a hard time coming to terms with your grief or think that you or someone you know is suffering these symptoms you are not alone. 

Support Isn’t Far Away

Many of us have been exactly where you were and a great number of us have also had to reach out for help before. There are myriad support networks geared especially towards helping us cope after a loss. This can range from trained professionals and experts to communities that are geared toward people simply supporting other people. Friends and family are also perfect to turn to if you need a shoulder to lean on or an understanding ear. We do understand, however, that sometimes speaking to someone outside your immediate social circle, especially if they are a qualified grief expert, can help if you are not comfortable opening up to someone that is close to you.
