Coping with grief

GRIEF IS A PART OF LIFE FOR EVERYONE.

When someone close to you dies, your life can change in many ways. The period of mourning that follows a death is a time to adjust to these changes.

GET MORE SUPPORT

If your loved one was sick for some time, you may have begun grieving before their passing. However, we understand that this does not make the loss any easier. Grief affects everyone differently, and it can be challenging to know how to cope with loss - there is no right way to experience it.

From the funeral itself to the weeks that follow, navigating this difficult time can be overwhelming. That’s why our team at Rosetown Funerals offers resources to help you find what works best for you and your family.
