Sorry to hear about the loss that your friend or family member went through. Here is a website that many find useful:

Also the book below, lots of bereaved people have found refreshing and helpful:

Answer 2

If you live in America, try calling the local United Way for a list of agencies that could help. If s/he is in school there should be a counselor to talk to who can give referrals. Try calling the local hospice, too, as they will know of free bereavement groups and may know of a local hotline. You can also try searching at www.guidestar.org - put in your town name and see what comes up. If you have the 211 (instead of 911) service locally, you can ask them. You can also check with your local city government: they should be able to tell you. Good luck!
