I never realized how important a dedicated grief center was, until I experienced multiple losses that left me struggling to function. The support of my counselor was so valuable. She helped me process and understand my feelings, talk through what had happened until I no longer needed to. I was able to create a new life without my precious people here. It would have been so much more difficult without them. This is an amazing non-profit. Knowing that they don’t receive any government help, but make it only on grants and donations, makes them all the more amazing. Tulsa is lucky to have them.
Review from Guidestar
Losing a loved one can be difficult. I've been fortunate to have the loving support of family and friends and my faith to help me through times of loss. I am also fortunate to have not suffered a devastating loss in my life. As a current board member, I have hear the stories of many who have come to the Grief Center and have learned to cope with the grief. The Tristesse Grief Center helps anyone, regardless of their ability to pay, who has suffered any type of loss. Licensed counselors with experience in this area provide individual sessions, as well as group sessions. The center hosts holiday healing and personal healing activities. They have also expanded into the public school system, offering support and services to students after a tragedy. This is the only organization is Tulsa providing this kind of service to the community.
