Resources for grief include grief counseling, grief support groups or online support groups. Grief therapy is provided by a licensed mental health professional trained to work with bereavement and grief.
What you should expect in grief counseling or grief support is help from a person who understands bereavement and grief and can provide nonjudgmental support for you and your children. A grief therapist is trained to provide more specific therapy interventions that can help you move forward in adapting to loss.
