Grief Support: 24-Hour Compassion Helpline
The Compassion Helpline is a service offered through Dignity Memorial providers to help those in grief. It gives you somewhere to turn for help, especially if those who normally support you, like clergy, family or friends, are unavailable.

The Compassion Helpline is a counseling resource available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is staffed at all times by licensed professionals who are specially trained in grief counseling. All staff members have advanced degrees - either Ph.D.s or Masters in Social Work. By calling the toll free number, you or members of your immediate family can talk at any time to these professionally trained grief counselors, who will support and guide you through this difficult time. It is available for up to one year after the time of death, and may be used in conjunction with Hospice services.

Dignity Memorial® L.I.F.T.® (Living Information for Today® ) is a social support program that helps widows and widowers adjust to the loss of a spouse. Through this program, Dignity Memorial funeral, cremation and cemetery providers hope to reinforce a sense of wholeness and purpose in those who may be feeling lost.

Often, a widowed person feels isolated, usually believing no one really understands how they feel. Because of this, they are commonly reluctant to get involved with new people or unfamiliar organizations. The L.I.F.T. program gives them the opportunity to be surrounded by people who may share similar feelings and experiences.

This program is both entertaining and educational with guest speakers on a variety of interesting topics. And attendees can feel comfortable knowing that L.I.F.T. speakers do not sell anything. Best of all, there are no fees or dues to participate. L.I.F.T. members are only responsible for meals or expenses.
