Grief Support

Offering Grief Support 
to the San Angelo & Miles, TX Area 

The death of a loved one is a painful process causing intense emotions such as pain, fear, sadness, anger, and much more. Harper Funeral Home understands this and offers guidance throughout the grief support process. Beyond the funeral services, we are here to support you during this difficult time and always remember, you are not alone.

One of the most effective forms of grief support is through a support group. Grief support groups offer immense support and create friendships, help combat loneliness, offer a sense of normalcy, and foster an environment dedicated to sharing ideas and feelings. Many dealing with the loss of a loved one often ask, "What's next?" after the burial or cremation service, and a grief support group can help answer that question.

Members of bereavement groups report many positive impacts of group therapy like the knowledge of loss and acceptance, the ability to share one's feelings, and the feeling of being in a safe space.

The following are some tools available to assist you in your healing journey. Contact us to discuss other resources and find a personalized solution to support you on the road to recovery. We provide grief support for the San Angelo, TX and Miles, TX area.

Children & Grief Support

When a loved one dies, it can be difficult to know how to help kids cope with the loss, particularly as you work through your own grief. By being open and honest, encouraging communication, and sharing your own feelings, you and your children can cope with painful times and begin your healing journey together. Children need just as much grief support as adults, if not more, as this can be a confusing time for them.

The following links provide more detailed information on topics related to helping children and teens with grief support to help them cope with loss.
