When a loved one dies, it’s normal to experience many different emotions, including shock, anger, guilt, anxiety and depression. It’s also normal for other members of your family, including children to experience similar emotions.
It’s important to know you’re not alone and there’s lots of support available.
Life Transitions Center, a locally operated non-profit agency provides emotional and social support for individuals and families coping with the death of a loved one. Services include support groups, wellness programs, and referrals for individual counseling.
