The Compassionate Friends – I highly recommend this resource. It’s fantastic because it provides a wide array of support options. You’ve got everything from support groups to online resources and educational programs. These resources have the potential to help people navigate their way through their grief and find a path toward healing.
“Experiencing the loss of a loved one is like a segment of your world disappearing. The deep wound left behind takes time and tenderness to recover.” – Bob Shirilla, Founder of The Art of Condolences.
National Alliance for Grieving Children – A great resource for people who have lost a child. The website offers a variety of resources, including support groups, online forums, and a 24/7 helpline.
Their support groups provide a safe space for people to share their experiences and feelings with others who understand what they are going through. This can be very helpful for grieving people, as it allows them to connect with others going through the same thing.
The On-Line forums allow people to connect with others who have lost a child and to share their experiences and feelings. This can be a great way to find support and to learn from others who have been through similar experiences.
“The NACG is a valuable resource for families who are struggling to cope with the loss of a child. Their website offers information, support, and resources that can help families find healing.” — Dr. Joanne Cacciatore, grief therapist and author of The Gift of Darkness
The Dougy Center – We found the Dougy Center website to be a valuable resource. The support groups are especially helpful, as they will allow your loved ones to connect with others going through the same thing.
The Dougy Center ia a national non-profit organization that has supported grieving families for over 30 years. They have a wealth of experience and expertise in helping people cope with grief.
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention – We recommend AFSP to anyone grieving the loss of a loved one to suicide.
Losing a loved one feels like losing a vital part of your universe. The pain comes from knowing this person held a unique, irreplaceable spot in your life. You shared precious moments and memories that now echo. You miss their voice, their smile, their presence. It’s deeply painful, akin to a wound that needs time and care to heal.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) – I would recommend NAMI to anyone who is grieving because they are a trusted organization with a wealth of experience and expertise in helping people cope with grief. Their website is also user-friendly and easy to navigate, so you can find the resources you need quickly and easily.
NAMi has helped thousands of people feel less alone and more supported.
The Alan Watts Foundation – Watts’ writings provide a framework for understanding grief. He talks about the different stages of grief, the importance of accepting loss, and the possibility of finding new meaning in life after loss. This can be helpful for people who are struggling to make sense of their grief.
A woman who lost her husband found comfort in reading Watts’ writings. She said that his words helped her to understand her grief and to find hope for the future.
A teen who lost his best friend found solace in listening to Watts’ lectures. He said that Watts’ words helped him to feel less alone and to find the strength to cope with his loss.
A therapist who works with grieving clients said that Watts’ website is a valuable resource for her clients. She said that his writings and lectures offer a unique perspective on grief and help her clients understand their own experiences.
The Grief Recovery Institute (GRM) – A study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology found that GRM effectively reduced grief symptoms in a group of adults who had lost a loved one. The study found that GRM participants experienced a significant decrease in grief symptoms, such as sadness, anger, and guilt, compared to a control group who did not receive GRM.
The National Child Traumatic Stress Network – “The NCTSN is a valuable resource for grieving children and their families. Their website and support groups can provide support and information to help children cope with grief and find healing.” – Dr. Therese A. Rando, psychologist and founder of the Grief Recovery Method.

When Bad Things Happen To Good People – I recommend reading “Bad Things Happen to Good People.” It is a helpful and insightful book that can offer comfort and support during a difficult time. The book offers a comprehensive and compassionate look at grief, it is written in a clear and accessible style, and it offers practical advice on how to cope with grief. The book is also hopeful, as Kushner believes that it is possible to find meaning in loss.
“A must-read for anyone who has ever experienced loss.” — Dr. Kenneth Doka, grief therapist and author of Living with Grief: A Guide for the First Year
