Just remember - losing a spouse doesn’t mean you have to live without support. Instead, build up your support system by reaching out to family, friends, neighbors, and even co-workers. You don’t have to do life alone - people will stand with you!

If you would like assistance finding local grief resources, please let us know. We’re here to help you both before and after the funeral.
