During times of loss, loneliness and grief, we may not recognize God’s presence in our lives
St. Paul reminds us in his letter to the Romans of many comforting words. Though we can’t imagine all the thoughts and feelings you are experiencing right now, we do understand a bit about grieving and that first of all it is a process.
The Buffalo Diocese Family Life Office has a free Bereavement Packet of materials designed to provide support, especially during the initial stages of grief; request materials by calling (716) 847-2210 or email us anytime.
