Summer is here. But we all know that death, life, and mourning don’t take vacations. I’m so glad you are part of this community. We’re here for you, no matter what. If you haven’t already, check out articles that can help you be good support to someone who has suffered a loss. Doesn’t have to be someone you know well. The smallest act of kindness can have a tremendous effect.

Many people have questions about death, dying, grief, sadness, depression. It's not something we speak of openly in our culture. The Bereavement Page is a safe place to ask anonymously. Not only will you get an answer personally if you click on "Contact Editor", but a full length feature article may be written so we can all learn.
