Beth Tikvah Bereavement Support
THE BETH TIKVAH BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT TEAM
At Beth Tikvah the bereaved are not alone. There is now a team of professional and lay Beth Tikvah members who have also had various personal grief experiences and are available to offer support to their fellow members as they go through the grief process. If a member has suffered a recent loss or there is still unresolved grief that needs or requires tending, we are here to listen, to witness, to validate and to support your grief journey. It is never too early or too late to reach out to our team. Also, when shiva is over and everyday life begins to resume, an email will be sent to the newly bereaved as a personal reminder that they are not forgotten and the Beth Tikvah bereavement support team is available if and when they have the need or desire to receive support. Whether a loved one died recently or long ago, we hope you will take comfort in knowing that we care and we are here to help.
