Is There Telephone Grief Support Available?

Posted by layla97 @layla97, Aug 8 6:10pm

I just lost my sister to pancreatic cancer and I need to find help for her partner who is now alone and not computer savvy. Does anyone recommend any websites where she can get support over the phone?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Loss & Grief Support Group.

My mom died in 1991. At that time, computers weren't so common for everyone including me. I called my church, The Mormon Church. They had a very nice grief support group. You could talk to an individual on the phone whenever you felt the need to call. They probably have the same service today.

It also helps a lot to just talk to God about how you are feeling. My husband died a month ago. I talk to God daily about how lonely I am and all my other concerns that I have dealing with life alone now.

I'll say a prayer for your friend.
