Grief is one of the most normal and natural emotions that we can feel;
yet it is one of the most misunderstood. Grief is a normal and unavoidable
reaction to the loss of treasured loved one. At Good Shepherd, we recognize that
grief often involves very painful and difficult feelings. We offer you these
numbers of supporting people who are trained in the areas of loss and grief, and
can provide assistance through the grieving process.
