B. Grief Counselor

It is important for everyone affected by a sudden death to deal with the feelings of grief, loss and sometimes anger that they experience. Everyone deals with grief in their own way, yet over the years I've found that an experienced grief counselor can help you. Feel free to call me for or with a recommendation.
