Tulsa Grief Center Offers COVID-19 Loss Counseling

The Grief Center in Tulsa is offering a COVID-19 support group for people who have lost loved ones during the pandemic.

Timothy Dearhamer, who leads the group, said he works with families who couldn't say goodbye, others who weren't able to have a funeral and even families who feel their loss has been politicized along with the pandemic.

It is not just families who have lost someone from COVID who are coming to the group, frontline workers also attend.

"We as Americans do not talk about grief and even when we do we don't talk about it very well," said Dearhamer.

The Grief Center does not turn away anyone who can't pay. If your grief is getting in the way of your ability to function, you can always ask for help.
