Grief Support Groups

Holding a funeral or memorial service for your loved one is a positive first step in the grieving process. Family members and friends get a chance to say their goodbyes and, at the same time, they get to share strong feelings with one another.

In the days, weeks, and months following the service, people continue to need others to lean on for understanding, encouragement, and guidance. For that reason, many support groups have formed. These groups provide a common place and a comforting environment for expressing emotions through each phase of the grieving process. We have provided a directory of support options below for your convenience.
