Very helpful, indeed, I finished it recently as I marked one year, and am continuing a second time.

....One very helpful book was given out. Bearing The Unbearable by Joanne Cacciatore. Highly recommend.
Welcome continued dialogue!

My dream! is that we can revamp our ConnectShareCare Resource page to a version 2.0 based on all the resources shared by members and what I have learned through my discussions with DHMC and community stakeholders.

@jeremyb111122 I am not sure if I highlighted this book to you? (see above: Healing after Loss). If you haven't heard of this book, you might value and reading through comments made by other ConnectShareCare members.

I also love the Daily Reader “Healing After Loss. When grief was brand new the brevity of the readings and thoughts were all I could handle. Yet, very helpful. Jay was reading them as well and we would often text each other on now spot on they were. Now on my second year of rereading them, they are still wonderful, meaning and helpful. I have mine in digital format and have found that to be handy. I means I have it whenever I may need it. I found that when I was having a rough time, it helped just to read from it.

@christinamarie I know you requested information on virtual bereavement support groups but I also I wanted to take this opportunity to highlight this book which many members who have lost a loved one have enjoyed. It has daily readings which outside a support group might bring some comfort- see comments above.
