If you need some extra help dealing with the emotions created while coping with a loved one's advanced illness or following their death, Tidewell's Grief Education and Support Center offers free bereavement services.

There are grief specialists available to you in all of Tidewell's offices. They conduct a variety of group and one-on-one counseling activities. Some specialists work primarily with adults, while others specialize in meeting children's bereavement needs.

During your grief experience, you may experience various emotions at different times. Our professionals are able to recognize these emotions and help you come to terms with personal feelings, as well as those of other family members. Tidewell has developed a variety of support systems to help you work through this grieving process, recognizing identifiable steps that can occur in any combination or sequence. Tidewell's bereavement services are not mental health services; they focus on education, validation and support. If you have further difficulty, you'll be referred to the appropriate agency.

The often confusing reactions to serious illness and death can temporarily split a family apart at a time when mutual support is needed. Tidewell grief specialists provide individual counseling support and work with families to allay emotional threats. Grief specialists are also available to assist businesses, organizations and schools when education and/or support is needed.
