Tidewell's Grief Education and Support Services

After someone in our life dies, our lives change, often in profound and absolute ways. Tidewell provides free grief support to those who need it to thousands of people in our community each year through support groups, individual and family counseling, and Tidewell’s Blue Butterfly program.
Like all services provided by Tidewell’s Grief Education and Support, programs are free to all participants thanks to donor contributions. With your support, Tidewell plans to offer Family Grief Centers in all the counties we serve.
