The death of a loved one is the single most stressful event that can happen to a person. The accompanying grief is the way one works through the loss. Grief is a very personal reaction and grieving is an individual process. The intensity, the amount of grief, the duration of the grieving periods, and the behaviors one uses to express grief can vary greatly from one person to another and from situation to situation. Yet, no one grieves very much unless something of real value is lost. Grief and bereavement are the processes of separation from the deceased and the rebuilding of life in a new circumstance.
Boulger Funeral Home and Fredrikson Funeral Chapel provide individual support through their after care program. We believe families benefit from support after a death and provide this service without charge.
After care can help you through your grief by:
- Making available to you someone trained to listen to your concerns
- Offering you information on the grief process
- Helping you identify and express your feelings
- Providing assurances of your progress on the grief journey
- Sharing ideas to help you cope with the stressors that come with the loss
- Increasing your awareness of area resources available to help you in adjusting to the changes in your life
Boulger Funeral Home and Fredrikson Funeral Chapel offer helpful information for those who are grieving. Grief literature is available to anyone in the Red River Valley at no charge.
