Resources on Grief and Healing

When a loved one dies, you may experience feelings of shock, disbelief, anger, guilt and depression. The ability to make it through the death of a loved one can be challenging, and caring for yourself is vital at this time.

Kirby & Family maintains a library of grief management materials at both of our offices, and we have donated duplicates of these materials to our public libraries, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, bank trust departments, and human services offices for your use at no charge.
