Grief Support

In addition to the bereavement services for the families we serve,  we have provided some helpful grief support links below: 

Crisis, Grief and Healing 

Webhealing.com, the first interactive grief website on the internet, offers discussion boards, articles, book suggestions, and advice for men and women working through every aspect of grief. The site’s founder, Tom Golden LCSW, has provided book excerpts and contact information to help those healing from loss.

Laraine Gordon is a licensed clinical social worker with a private practice for the last 15 years in Southampton, NY. Time For Teens, Inc. is a not for profit organization that was primarily created to hold an annual four day bereavement retreat for teens. Ms. Gordon’s innovation has been to create an environment geared toward grieving adolescents between the ages of 12 and 19. While specializing in helping teens, she is also available to assist adults through the grieving process.

“Having a private practice working primarily with teenagers, it has become apparent that there is a strong need for this service on the East End of Long Island.”

In addition to this bereavement retreat, TFT will be holding acting and cabaret workshops throughout the year.
