You are not alone

Solace House is a Center for Grief and Healing. It is designed to be a nurturing place to guide children and adults through the difficult time following a death, whether it was anticipated or sudden. It is your space to share, listen, learn and heal.

We believe

• Everyone has the capacity to heal

• The intensity and duration of each individual’s grief is unique
• A caring community can greatly assist in the healing process

Together we will explore

• Your grief
• Emotional, behavioral, social and spiritual responses related to loss
• Changes and how to adapt
• Strategies for coping, connecting, communicating, memorializing and healing
