Some people display a picture of the deceased in their home, perhaps surrounded by candles and flowers. Other examples include holding a memorial service, writing in a journal, visiting the grave site. All of these can help healing. It is very beneficial to have support when experiencing a loss. A bereavement support group can share information of all kinds, from legal issues, to the simple knowledge that someone has the similar feelings, to a different perspective on your experience.
Individual counseling is also available.
If you have experienced the loss of someone you love or of a friend, come to the Personal Counseling Program at 1303 James Hall. A counselor can help you to understand your feelings and reactions and the process of grieving.
