Grief Resources

​

First and foremost, if you are having thoughts of self-harm or suicide, stop what you are doing and dial or text "988". This is the United States suicide hotline. These are trained and caring folks prepared to help talk you through any life altering situation you find yourself in. Your life is worth living no matter the deep dark rut you find yourself in. Please seek help!

​
