Bereavement Reading Materials


Website Resources for Bereavement

It may seem unusual, at first, to think of turning to your computer for help with grief work. However, many people spend significant time-either at home or at work-connected to the larger world outside home or workplace by means of a personal computer. Used wisely, and not in place of relationships and counseling, or support groups, the World Wide Web can connect you to resources previously unknown and unavailable.

The following websites are a starting point. They offer a variety of resources for those who are grieving. These sites post lists of additional websites that address specific types of losses (ie. spouse, child, parent, sibling, and so forth), as well as the complex issues of the grief process. Some of the sites provide the complete text for articles that may be of interest to you. You will even find a guide to pray with-right on-line-at Requiem, a site sponsored by the Irish Jesuits.

We hope that these websites will encourage you to understand the process of grieving more fully, and assist you in your journey to New Life.
