Grief support spans clinics, communities, campuses

Grief can persist or emerge in different ways, and several services described here offer support tailored to people’s circumstances. Scovel Psychology in Rapid City provides individual counseling and group therapy for people coping with loss, including those whose grief continues long after a death. A Fredericksburg-area support group focuses specifically on people who lost a spouse or partner to dementia, addressing both the prolonged losses during caregiving and the grief after death. In Scotland, Fosters Funeral Directors has partnered with Cruse Scotland to raise awareness of bereavement support and help keep services free and accessible. The University of Texas at Arlington is also offering students a free virtual peer-support series on grief and loss, while a clinical article highlights inhibited grief, which may leave people feeling emotionally stuck or disconnected.
