You will probably
feel a variety of emotions when you lose someone you
love. The ability to make it through the death of a
loved one can be challenging. You may have feelings
of shock and disbelief, anger, guilt and depression.
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.
The members of CIFD strive to provide the resources
to help you with the grief process. Please contact one

information, support, or counseling options you may

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
