I work for a local branch of Odyssey Healthcare, a hospice. I talked to our bereavement coordinator John Brian and he was gracious enough to give me these local (Southeast Texas) resources for experiencing grief.

ALLEN THIS COMES TO ME JUST ON TIME, THANKS FOR ALL THAT INFORMATION

Realized this week we were sorely missing some information we should have had for a while. If you know of more for here or for your local area, feel free to post it, thank you

Allen, can you make this one a "sticky" topic? I think it should always be on top!

Great information and great site
