Finding The Right Counseling Resources For You
There’s nothing that compares to the loss of a child. The recovery process for grief is lengthy and complex, and not always linear. A year after the passing of our son, LovesFromLuke became an answer to our grief. We send care packages to families that have lost a member of their own and offer helpful resources, including assistance finding the proper grief community-based services and mental health counseling and recovery services.
From Multnomah to Clark County, we’re dedicated to assisting you on a path toward healing through family therapy, individual counseling, or group services like the Dougy Center in Portland, OR, which specializes in support for children who have lost a sibling, and parents mourning the loss of a child. We also encourage online counseling for accessibility, including GriefShare, an online grief support platform. These platforms facilitate local and national group sessions that can guide you toward restored life through grief counseling or mental health services.
For those impacted by the financial burdens of funeral and memorial services, BuzzyBees was established to aid grieving parents in managing substantial costs. Please get in touch with them if you are seeking financial support after loss. All of these community services and resources are here to stand behind an essential message about grief: You are not navigating this journey alone.
Care Packages From LovesFromLuke
In addition to connecting you with valuable community resources for grief, we offer carefully curated care packages for those dealing with loss. These care packages include a comforting teddy bear, a supportive book, and a 48-hour guide for planning. Our care packages serve as our heartfelt offering of support to parents suffering the loss of their child.
Crafted to provide the support and guidance we wished for after Luke’s passing, our care packages will arrive at your location as soon as possible. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you need an additional teddy bear for a surviving sibling or have any other questions or concerns. LoveFromLuke is here to provide you with lifeline connections during challenging moments.
The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not ‘get over’ the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to.
