Grief Resources

The death of someone we care about can be one of the most difficult experiences of life. Words seem inadequate to describe how painful the grief we feel can be. It is often much more challenging than we expect and than others seem to think.

The Traumatic Loss Coalition's HOPES Program exists to provide immediate encouragement and support to families bereaved by the suicide loss of a child (21 and under), empowering survivors so they can thrive.

Common Ground Grief Center assists children, teens, and young adults who have experienced the death of a parent or sibling. They also run a special group for kids whose loved one passed of substance use.

The Compassionate Friends is a nationwide group providing highly personal comfort, hope, and support to every family experiencing the death of a son or a daughter, a brother or a sister, or a grandchild, and helps others better assist the grieving family.

Grief Recovery After Substance Passing (GRASP) was created to offer understanding, compassion, and support for those who have lost someone they love through addiction and overdose without shame.

Stephy's Place in Red Bank holds weekly support groups covering a variety of losses. Opening in 2015, they offer support groups and mindful meditation free of charge.

The Christopher J. Morrissey Foundation sponsors a monthly support group for Mothers who have lost a child. Their group has been formed to operate as a safe, non-judgmental gathering place for Moms to share and listen.

Camp Erin is the largest free national network of grief camps for kids, teens, and families who have experienced the death of a significant person in their lives. Camp Erin provides a safe and supportive environment for campers to find grief support while building community, making lifelong connections, and learning you can still have fun while grieving.
