Moving On After Loss of Spouse: How to Seek Support

The loss of a spouse can be difficult and painful to move through. No one is ever truly prepared for a situation like this. It can take time to adjust and heal.

If you are looking for support, there is help available. Reach out to friends and family, look into religious or spiritual resources, and connect with experienced counselors. Some individuals and organizations understand what you are going through, and support groups exist for this purpose.

Attending classes on how to process grief can give you tools and an atmosphere of communication with those in similar situations. Journaling is also a great way to articulate your thoughts without judgment or reaction. Take your time knowing that others have been where you are right now, see the darkness, then move forward to lightness again. You will, too.
