Grief Assistance
Mourning the loss of a loved one is a difficult journey, and it is one for which we are never quite prepared.
Everyone’s journey as they grieve is unique, but we all need emotional support, safety, stability, and understanding as we process our loss.
“How do these geese know when to fly to the sun? Who tells them the seasons? How do we, humans, know when it is time to move on? As with the migrant birds, so surely with us, there is a voice within, if only we would listen to it, that tells us so certainly when to go forth into the unknown.”
– Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (The Wheel of Life, 1997)We have compiled this list to help you on your journey, and as a conservation organization, we also recommend the healing power of nature. We hope our cemetery grounds will offer a sacred, quiet space for you to connect and heal.
