GRIEF SUPPORT |
 A death in the family, for most people, is among the most serious event in their
family history. The difficult changes – emotional, spiritual,
social and practical – are not adjusted to "overnight." For most
families, the funeral marks the end of a life and the beginning
of a new life: adapting to the changes that loss and grief
occasion.
Diaz-Healy recognizes the ongoing challenges of a death in the
family and has always provided follow-up services to the
bereaved among us. We serve as a referral agency to a variety of
bereavement programs, from Widow-to-Widow groups, Bereaved
Parents groups, Survivors of Suicide, Parents of Murdered
Children, Compassionate Friends and others.
In concert with church, civic and health care groups, Diaz-Healy
can provide programming for the newly bereaved as well as
outreach programs for local schools, churches and civic
organizations that want to educate and inform their members on
the dynamics of grief, death and bereavement.
There are a number of grief support groups in the local area
that offer support and courage. We have listed a few of the
local support groups below.
Meeting times and places and more detailed information on each
support group can be found by clicking on their links.
