Resources - Grief Counselling

In the group I attend, there seem to have been a lot of personal loses lately; in addition to deaths in the past which haven't been fully mourned.

As death is one of life's transitions we all face; it is good to know there is professional help available to support one through these times.  As I am beginning to discover, about nearly everything in my life, no one has to go through the mourning process alone.

Each individual will mourn in their own time, in their own way.  Here are some supports available:
