Grief Resources & Support
There is no right way to grieve.
Grief can be emotional, physical, practical, confusing, exhausting, or sometimes surprisingly quiet. What helps one person may not help another.
We’ve gathered local support, practical information, and resources for adults, children, teens, and anyone trying to support someone after a death.
Grief does not follow a predictable timeline.
You may feel sad one day and completely ordinary the next. You might be angry, relieved, exhausted, distracted, numb, anxious, or even find yourself laughing at something five minutes after crying.
Anniversaries, birthdays, holidays, songs, smells, paperwork, or an ordinary Tuesday can bring grief rushing back.
None of this means you are grieving incorrectly.
Grief changes over time, but there is no schedule for when you should be “better.”

Our community partner of support can offer hope in difficult times.
Transitions GriefCare is a trusted community resource offering bereavement support to people coping with the death of a family member, colleague, or friend. Their professional staff provides short-term counseling, support groups, workshops, and other services designed to compassionately meet the needs of adults, children, and teens seeking to address the unique challenges of grief and create a path toward healing.
Grief support is available at no cost to residents of Chatham, Durham, Franklin, Granville, Harnett, Johnston, Orange, and Wake counties, regardless of whether the family was served by Transitions LifeCare. Bereavement services must be initiated directly by the individual, or by the guardian of a minor child.
