Every person must cope with loss of a loved on his or her own terms. The emotional upheaval these trying times can cause is sometimes so overwhelming that even the support of friends and family may not help relieve the amount of sadness and grief you feel.

When a loved one or friend dies, grieving that loss can take a long time, but you are not alone. Grief Connections is here with support groups, and now daily emails, that provide encouragement and reminders of the recovery process.
