Grief Counselors & Bereavement Support
Compassionate support through your journey of mourning
Jewish tradition provides a structured framework for mourning, but grief is deeply personal. Professional grief counselors who understand both the psychological and Jewish aspects of mourning can provide invaluable support.
Understanding Jewish Mourning
Jewish tradition provides wisdom about grief that modern psychology has come to appreciate. The structured mourning periods—shiva, shloshim, and the first year—provide a framework for processing loss.
When to Seek Professional Help
- Difficulty returning to daily activities after shloshim
- Persistent feelings of guilt or anger
- Social withdrawal or relationship problems
- Physical symptoms related to grief
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it normal to still feel grief after a year?
Absolutely. While Jewish tradition marks the first year as a formal mourning period, grief has no fixed timeline. Many people continue to experience waves of grief for years.
How can I support a grieving friend?
Visit during shiva, bring food, say "HaMakom yenachem" (May God comfort you), attend the funeral and unveiling, and continue to check in throughout the year.
