Internet Links
As well as the above online forums,
the internet can be the source of many
articles that can provide comfort, help, information, support and
even inspiration. Surfing the internet is something you
can do at any time of the day or night, when you may find yourself
alone. Just try typing "grief" into your search engine and you will
find you are no longer alone. On our
Links page you will find some sites. Each
website will usually have its own "Links" page so you may be
surprised how quickly the time will pass. Please let us know if
you find any websites you think could be added to our list or if any of
these links have become out of date.

choose what you believe to be the best for you at any given
time.
