Grief Support
 
 
For grief support there are many different groups available to answer your questions. However, when browsing the internet for information, Kristi A. Dyers, M.D., M.S. recommends keeping the following things in mind:
           
* Check the organization's privacy policy, which will tell you whether information is collected and/or shared.
 
* Look to see if resources on a site clearly identify the author or source. Users should be able to easily contact those who have created the site.
 
* Be aware that there are unlicensed, unqualified information providers and resources on the Internet that are working outside of ethical and legal boundaries.
 
* Do not use web site information and advice in place of the care of a personal physician or counselor.
