Coping with grief and loss
Losing someone you love is a difficult experience. And in the midst of it all, there are legal and financial matters that need attention. Whenever you're ready, we're here to provide helpful resources for coping with loss.
Grief support resources
Few things in life compare to the pain of losing someone you love. We have resources available to help you begin the healing process.
Grief does not follow neatly outlined stages. When you’re going through it, it feels like it will never end. But peace is possible, even alongside your heartache and pain. Grieving With Hope is a collection of short reflections that offer emotional and spiritual comfort in your time of loss.
If you or someone you know has experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth or the loss of a newborn, this care package is designed to offer comfort and healing. It includes an adult-sized blanket and the Grieving the Child I Never Knew devotional – originating from the personal journey of author Kathe Wunnenberg.
