Grief Support
At Roper and Sons Funeral Home, we understand that a funeral or memorial service for your loved one is a positive first step in the grieving process. Family members and friends get a chance to say their goodbyes and, at the same time, they get to share strong feelings with one another.

In the days, weeks, and months following the service, people continue to need others to lean on for understanding, encouragement, and guidance. For that reason, many local and national support groups have formed. These groups provide a common place and a comforting environment for expressing emotions through each phase of the grieving process.

To learn more, discuss grief counseling and support options with your funeral director, or contact us directly at 402-476-1225 or [email protected].

At some point in our lives, we all have to face the reality of losing a friend or family member to death. The idea of losing someone we love can make even the most stoic people feel uncomfortable, confused, and afraid.

During the first few days after a death, you are surrounded by family and friends. You are busy planning the funeral and may not have time to think about yourself until later when you are alone with your grief. After the funeral, it is completely normal to experience a wide range of emotions. Grieving is hard work, and you may feel tired and lethargic without understanding why. Lighten your schedule if you can, eat healthy foods and exercise to renew your energy. Take time to be alone with your thoughts, but also spend time talking to close friends about your loss. You need to express your emotions. Roper and Sons offers a variety of aftercare services to support your needs during this time.
