Bereavement Support

[Maea]

Does anyone know some outlets for bereavement support? There is a surprising lack in my area. Churches have some but they are more like classes with a fee. I’m not especially interested in religious support. My situation of loss is pretty unique and I don’t know of anyone whose experienced anything similar. It’s isolating to feel that way. I try to talk about it with friends (as I am starting to open up more) but they never know how to reply. I get pity and “it’ll get better”. It really doesn’t. I’m at a point where I’ve accepted the fact that they passed but everything else is so conflicting and heartbreaking. I obsess over it some days. I’ve looked into their hospice but it is a program that hasn’t been maintained since 2012. What else is there?

Grief is so debilitating as far as I am concerned. If you cannot find a group in your area (look on line) there are some great books you can get at the Library, also look on line. I have dealt with a lot of grief in my 75 years, people, animals, relationships etc. they all hurt and need time to heal. i wish you well in finding a group, sometimes the local hospital offer them even funeral homes, hospice, they can give a referral. Be good to yourself you need to go thru the steps of healing, it is not easy, but well worth it. Without healing it will stay too long.

I wish you well, maybe someone else here has an idea. Sprinkle 1 with Love & Peace. Hugs.
