Grief Resources

At Hippensteel we know that the death of a loved one is a life-altering experience, one that carries far beyond the actual funeral. When a loved one dies we are forever changed. We hope you will find some support on this site and from the links to many other helpful sites. We have peer grief support groups available for ages 7 to 107! Also a grief library, Trails of Hope Camp for Grieving Children, and many other grief resources available to assist you. We are always happy to answer any questions! All responses will be held in strictest confidence.
