About
Hello & thank you for visiting My Grief Connection (MGC). The creation of this site has been a labor of love and a
way for me to channel some of the deep grief and pain I carry from the tragic suicide loss of my older brother.
I launched this humble web site on July 4, 2019, the one year anniversary of his death.
I've worked in library reference for a number of years and do genealogy as hobby, so I'm pretty good at online research, but even
with my searching skills I've struggled over this past year to find current grief resources local to the Treasure Valley Idaho area.
I've spent hours looking for support groups, counselors, videos, movies, books, events, etc. that will help me in the slog through
my grief journey. I had an epiphany recently that if I'm having a hard time finding help, others must be as well, and there needs
to be a landing page so people don't have to scour the web for ages looking for help in the midst of a grief crisis.
This site is also for those loving family & friends who want to be supportive of someone who is grieving and need information
to be effective and empathetic helpers. Whatever the reason you have stumbled on to MGC, I hope that you find help and
comfort here. This is a one-man-show, run by a total amateur webmaster, so this won't be the most professional or flashy website,
it won't be perfect. Thankfully perfect isn't the goal here. My goal is to create and maintain a centralized online location to provide
connection to current grief, loss and crisis help services, resources and support for individuals, families and professionals in
the Greater Treasure Valley Idaho area, and beyond.
I am not a therapist, grief counselor or grief professional or in anyway an expert in grief, but I do have my own grief experiences to pull from.
I want to be of help to those struggling with loss and have great empathy for your pain. I'll do my very best to keep
the information and links up-to-date, but please contact me if you notice errors, broken links, or if you have suggestions
for resources to include. Sending you love & prayers from one grieving heart to another.
Blessings,
Sara J. Cobb, Founder
