Bereavement, Loss and Grief Resources

You have found one of most complete collections of grief-support resources in one location. Please check our website frequently as we are continually adding and updating our bereavement information.

While the information on our website is always current, this is a grief referral directory only. It will provide you with complete contact information to find the products and services that will help you on your grief journey or, if you are a caregiver, to help you discover excellent support resources for all kinds of loss.

We look forward to expanding our good grief resources to offer more services for people suffering from grief and for people who provide support for the bereaved. If you have a grief related resource, please let us know about it by adding your listing.

Research Study

A team of researchers from the Counseling Psychology program at Tennessee State University invites you to participate in a research project on bereavement adjustment. This study is conducted by Dr. Guler Boyraz and doctoral student Natalie Efstathiou. The study, which has been reviewed and approved by the Institutional Research Review Board, involves completing several web-based questionnaires.

The questionnaires should take between 30 to 45 minutes to complete and it is directed toward individuals who are 18 years old or older and have experienced the death of a loved one within the past ten years. There is no identifying information on the surveys, so all responses are anonymous.

Please contact Dr. Guler Boyraz at gboyraz@mytsu.tnstate.edu or doctoral student Natalie Efstathiou at nefstathiou@mytsu.tnstate.edu  if you have any questions about the survey.

AFSP’s National Survivors of Suicide Day
Saturday, November 21, 2009

National Survivors of Suicide Day was created by U.S. Senate resolution in 1999 through the efforts of Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, who lost his father to suicide. Every year, on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, simultaneous conferences for survivors of suicide loss take place throughout the U.S. and internationally. This unique network of healing conferences helps survivors connect with others who have survived the tragedy of suicide loss, and express and understand the powerful emotions they experience. Each conference site is organized locally, but they’re all connected in spirit as participants across the globe watch a special 90-minute AFSP broadcast together on that day. Many sites plan their own local programs around the broadcast, including panels and breakout groups, all aimed at helping survivors heal.
For those survivors of suicide loss who don't live near a conference site or who find it difficult to attend in person, the 90-minute broadcast will also be available live on the AFSP website from 1-2:30 pm, Eastern Standard Time, with a live online chat immediately following the program. It is then saved on the AFSP website so that survivors can watch it again throughout the year at anytime.
