Grief support services designed to help you help those you love
When someone special to you is grieving, you often grieve right along with them, even if the loss isn’t directly yours.
Cliched phrases, mass-produced sympathy cards, and flowers are exchanged and may make you feel better for a little while, but often you’re left feeling like you should have done something more. Something more personal, something to truly support your friend or relative journey through their grief and loss.
Words can be so powerful, but what if you can’t find the right ones? Let’s walk through this together and find the things you want to say to offer comfort and healing in times of loss.

About Mari Timpanaro
In over 10 years of social work practice, I've experienced a lot of special, unique, and 'oh gracious' moments. I've learned that a passion of mine is creative compassion – how do we share support of others while also staying true to who we, and they, are.
We are all faced with grief and loss of all sorts-it's not new to us. Yet, what is new is feeling comfortable with branching out beyond often hollow-sounding condolences and really making words of sympathy customizable and yours.
