Our good friends may be confused and unsure how to respond. The world does not wait for us to adjust. Fortunately, no one at Brown has to face these difficult times alone. Many individuals with experience and training are ready to help those who are grieving. Our office, Psychological Services has counselors and therapists available to discuss immediate and longer lasting issues.
Referrals are also available to community resources.
It is important to remember that not all reactions to loss are immediate and that reactions do not always seem clearly connected to a particular loss. The Office of the Chaplains and Religious Life host a weekly Breavement Group in the University Chaplain's office. This group is comprised of students who have experienced the death of someone else. Members have the opportunity to discuss their grief with others who have had similar experiences. The Deans of the College encourage any student who has experienced a loss to meet at least once with an academic dean.
