     The loss of a loved one is something we all must face during our lives. Whether the death was expected or unexpected, it is never easy. The grief experienced after the loss can be heart breaking, confusing, and overwhelming. The loss may leave feelings of sadness, loneliness, and even anger at times. Grief is a difficult journey that takes much hard work.


     We at Weatherhead Young Funeral Home realize the void left following the death of a loved one. We have obtained a collection of books available for loan to anyone seeking comfort, guidance, and hope. We also have on hand a current listing of active bereavement support groups and seminars in the area, some of which we sponsor. Please feel welcome to stop by our bereavement library at your convenience or call if we could be of any assistance to you.
