Grief Support

Mental Health America: Bereavement and Grief  The loss of a loved one is life's most stressful event and can cause a major emotional crisis. After the death of someone you love, you experience bereavement, which literally means "to be deprived by death."

Resources for Mourners and Caregivers The Medical College of Wisconsin has a number of resources for helping yourself deal, helping others deal with grief, helping children deal with grief, and how to prepare for a funeral/memorial.

Childhood Traumatic Grief While many children adjust well after death, other children have ongoing difficulties that interfere with everyday life and make it difficult to recall positive memories of their loved ones. If the child's responses are severe or prolonged and interfere with his or her functioning, the child may be experiencing Childhood Traumatic Grief.
