Mercy Care

Grief Support

     Losing someone you love is never easy. Neither is dealing with your feelings about loss. Your emotions can seem overwhelming, changing from feeling bad to sad to mad, all in the same moment. It may feel like your tears will never dry. Guilt may overcome a sudden bubble of laughter or feeling of joy. Regrets for things that you didn’t get a chance to say, or wish you hadn’t said, may plague you. The little thing you’d normally brush off, like being cut off on the road, might make you inexplicably angry. This is the grieving process. And it’s a normal, healthy and necessary response to loss. Talking with a trained counselor or participating in group activities can help. We are available 24/7 for all of your bereavement needs. For more information, please contact us.
