Dealing
with grief for an individual is a natural and a normal process in bereaving the death
of a loved one.
Support from family and friends is so important. Having a shoulder to cry on, a listening
ear or a tender hug can be more comforting than words can express.
An important contact to establish is with a minister and church of your choice. Some
churches and ministries offer special bereavement support meetings and support groups.
Hospice of Northwest Ohio has a number of Bereavement services. The following
is a partial listing of classes offered by Hospice. Please call 419.661.4001 for
