Grief is not a problem to be solved. It is the cost of loving someone or something, and it does not keep a schedule. The loss of a spouse, a child, a parent, a friend, a marriage, a role, a body, a belief, or an animal you loved completely. Each grief is its own.
The resources below come from established grief organizations and clinicians outside this practice. They offer support groups, reading, and community, including for the losses other people do not recognize. We keep the list short and current.
A large library of writing, courses, and a community for grieving people and for the people supporting them. Practical, honest, and free to read.
Resources organized by type of loss and by who is grieving, including grief after a death by overdose, suicide, or prolonged illness.
Support for families after the death of a child, at any age and from any cause, with local chapters and online communities.
Find an in-person support group near Memphis and across Tennessee.
Support for people bereaved by suicide, including loss support groups, healing programs, and reading on the grief that follows suicide loss.
These organizations are independent of Ballast Behavioral Health Group. We include them because they are reliable and genuinely useful, not as a substitute for care.
We provide non-pathologizing grief therapy: no timeline, no expectation that you move on, and no treatment of grief as a disorder. Care is available in person in the Memphis area and by telehealth across Tennessee. See how therapy works here or get in touch.
