“For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their Shepherd, and He will guide them to springs of living water; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” Revelation 7:17
The weight of grief can be difficult to bear, especially when facing the loss of a loved one. And no matter what type of loss, whether it was expected or not, there is no reason to bear that weight alone. The Diocese of Tulsa, through its parishes and partnerships, offers support to those who are grieving.
Below is a list of resources we hope may help you as you grieve. If you are in need of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us, the Diocese, or any of our parishes.
