Grief Support

Caring for yourself is not selfish. The period of recovery is different for every person. There is no timetable for grief, so don't compare yourself with others who have lost loved ones. Your life has changed and healing in your own way is important for the health of your mind, body and spirit. It's normal for some days to be better than others.

At Tom M. Wages Funeral Service, we strive to provide the resources to help you with the grief process. Please contact one of our staff to help guide you towards the information, support, or counseling options you may need.

Should you prefer an online source of grief resources; the following links will also provide you with sound information to help you manage your feelings and emotions at this most difficult time.

  

"Though grief is a natural and necessary process, it's also an extraordinarily difficult one. We're here to help mourners and those who care for them." -Alan D. Wolfelt, Ph.D., Director
