When someone special dies, the difficult task of grieving begins.
                          
Grief is tough stuff
 If you have arrived at this site you are probably experiening a roller-coaster rush of feelings.  We hope we can help.

How do you deal with your feelings, your family, your friends, school, work?

Your feelings may take you on a roller-coaster ride from sad to mad to numb to feeling totally overwhelmed.

You never know when a feeling will hit and it makes you feel different from your friends and family.

It can be very challenging to handle all the feelings that happen when someone special dies.



The pages on this website have information and actions that can help you understand your grief and support you as you go through it.

People often want to run from the painful feelings of grief. 
But, the only way to get to the other side of grief

is to go through it one painful step at a time.
