Bereavement Counseling & Grief Recovery

Losing a loved one is an incredibly difficult and challenging experience. Perhaps you can’t accept this new reality; or maybe working through the pain of grief is wearing you down. That’s when a qualified grief counselor can help.

There has been an ever-increasing desire to expand traditional roles beyond "at-need" and "pre-need" services into "after-need" or post funeral services for the bereaved.

Am Israel Mortuary is proud to recommend the Jewish Family Service for grief counseling. Jewish Family Service works to build a stronger, healthier, and more resilient San Diego. A major aspect of Jewish Family Service is its commitment to grief support. It provides different resources and services focused on providing grief support to those who have lost a loved one:

• Bereavement Counseling. Counseling is offered for couples, families, on a one-on-one basis, and for youth.

• Bereavement Support Groups. Grief recovery is enhanced when you reach out to others who have experienced loss. These groups look at the psychological, emotional, spiritual, social, and religious aspects of the grieving process from a Jewish perspective.

• Workshops – “Moving on After Loss: Taking Next Steps after the Death of a Loved One".  These workshops are geared to widows and widowers that are at least one year into their bereavement. They focus on elements such as downsizing your home, maintaining friendships, dating again, and in general learning how to embrace life after losing your spouse.

Call the Jewish Family Service today at (858) 637-3210 to find out more about the programs available to you.

If you would like a more personal counseling experience, Rabbi Aliza Berk - Lic. MFT, is avaialable.
