The death of a loved one is a powerful and emotional experience. It can shatter life as we used to know it. Three elements that seem to assist in recovering from the devastating effects of the death of a loved one are:
*gathering relevant information
*talking to others about your loss
*listening to others who have had similar experiences.

Join our Grief Groups
Shakespeare said: Our lives are shaped by those who leave as much as by those who remain. Everyone we have trully loved is a part of us. He who lacks time to mourn lacks time to mend.
Our Grief Gatherings still have openings for you to join us this Thursday, February 4 at our office: 1355 N. Main, Ste. 1, Bountiful, Utah. Two groups have just started: Adult Grief Group for the Death of a Loved One: 6:45 - 8:00 ($190/10 week session); Adult Grief Group for the Death of a Loved One (Suicide): 5:15 - 6:30.
Groups include Dr. Alan Wolfelt's book and journal.
Out of loss can come hope; not from forgetting or letting go of love, but through sharing with others.

A friend in Grief
As Henri Nouwen states: When we honestly ask ourselves which persons in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cure, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement. Who can tolerate not-knowing not-curing not-healing, and face with us the reality of our powerlessness. That is the Friend who Cares.
