Thank you to Jessica Frasier, LPC-S for sharing these tips on dealing with grief. Hope Again Counseling is located in Waco!

Grief is already heavy.

But sometimes—without realizing it—we add weight to what we’re carrying.

Not because we’re doing it wrong.
But because we’re trying to cope.

Here are 5 things that often make grief harder:
• being strong
• avoiding the pain
• comparing your grief
• ignoring your body
• feeling like you have to “move on”

I wrote a blog that walks through each of these—and what actually helps instead.

This milestone is not only a reflection of our history, but of the faith and trust you have placed in us through generations. We are deeply grateful to the community for allowing us to walk alongside you in life’s most meaningful moments, and we thank you for making our service a lasting legacy.

If you feel inclined and have 9 minutes to spare, we have put together a video of the history and to show our appreciation.

Prearrangement is planning today for your end-of-life needs. It is sitting down with your family to make those important decisions together, instead of your family having to make them alone after your passing. By planning now, you lessen the burden they will feel by making it clear exactly what you want. Consider preplanning today. Do it for them.
