Abraham L. Green and Son Funeral Home is pleased to offer a new Bereavement Support Program to continue it’s commitment to providing ongoing service to the community.
WHY DO I FEEL THIS WAY? IS IT NORMAL?
We are constantly experiencing loss in our lives. None seems as painful as the death of someone we loved and cared for. We all react to death in our own way but there are many ways in which the experience is universal. Death creates a host of feelings, thoughts and behaviors that are not only new to us but also painful and scary. Sometimes we try to push them aside only to find they keep sneaking up on us and surprise us with their intensity.
Come learn, listen and share with others who have experienced the death of someone who was loved and cared for. Feel safe and less alone as we explore what is a normal grief reaction.
Please join us as we explore what to expect when you are grieving!
