It’s not easy to deal with grief and sometimes asking a family member or friend for support isn’t an option. Different people have different ways to cope with grief and some of these coping mechanisms can be unhealthy or counterproductive. There are several online resources and support systems available to help you go through grief in a steady and healthy manner and here’s a list of some services that can help.

1. The Sweeney Alliance - website

This non-profit organization provides a large number of resources to grieving individuals of all ages. It’s designed to help families and professionals help deal with personal loss and get back on track with their lives.

2. Resources for Survivors of Suicide - website
