Dealing with Grief
Everyone grieves in their own way and in their own time. Some people recover from grief and resume normal activities within a few months, while others take much, much longer. No one way of grieving is better than any other.
We’re here to support you with aftercare and grief support services so that you can manage the many emotions of grief, healing and adjusting to your new life.
Join our supportive Facebook community for comfort and inspiration in your time of grief.
“Grief is a personal journey for everyone. We all grieve in our own way, in our own time. We’re here to help. We’ll stand beside you during – and after – the funeral service to help you cope with your loss. We understand about sadness, heartache – and hope. We’d like to make your grief journey a little easier.”

We Are Here for You – Always
The death of a loved one has a way of throwing us off balance and tearing at the fabric of who we are. It can be disorienting, especially in the earliest weeks and months. Early grief can be intense, intrusive, unpredictable and sometimes even embarrassing. The good news, however, is that with time the grief of losing someone dear to us becomes gentler and far less intrusive. Grief becomes a quieter companion that walks alongside us. We are always aware of it, but it does not interfere with life and the joy that life can bring.
“Grief never ends, but it changes.
– Anonymous
It’s a passage, not a place to stay.
Grief is not a sign of weakness,
nor a lack of faith.
It is the price of love.”
