Grief is natural and normal.  Sometimes we need help through the process. The purpose of the Grief Support Network of Sarnia Lambton is to maintain a network of service providers who support individuals and families experiencing grief , bereavement and mourning due to a variety of life losses.
Doing your grief work is your way back to living.
