We have compiled a brief list of Grief Resources. Often we have found that a good starting place is always family and friends. In addition, check with your local church to see if they offer a bereavement support group. Most local hospitals offer support groups or have access to one of them. If a hospice provided care, they may also be able to offer resources.
