"Your bereavement service is a blessing and truly
worthwhile program for the community. The staff I met and worked with
during my mom's illness were angels to me. Thank you from the bottom of my
heart."

About Bereavement Support
Grief is a natural and normal response to loss. Unity's bereavement
programs support adults, teens and children through the grief process.
Our bereavement team is skilled at identifying effective coping skills and
offering compassionate support and hope. The Unity bereavement team is
comprised of master's level and bachelor's level counselors, social workers and
chaplains, as well as specially-trained volunteers who share a deep commitment
to helping others who are grieving. Our bereavement professionals are
familiar with community resources and, when needed, will provide information
about other agencies for additional support.
