Coping with Grief

Y'all, my uncle died yesterday. He was only 52 years old (just two years older than my mom), and was diagnosed with cancer within the past month or so. By the time they found it, it was already in multiple organs. He died at home yesterday, accompanied by his wife and oldest sister. In lieu of being able to say anything more profound, I give you this list of resources for dealing with grief:

Loss, Grief, and Bereavement - National Cancer Institute

Coping With Loss - National Mental Health Association

Helping Yourself Through Grief - American Hospice Foundation

Grief - JAMA Patient Page

Grief and Loss - AARP

When Someone You Love Has Advanced Cancer: Support for Caregivers - National Cancer Institute
