Dr. Heidi Kling | Building a Support Network

In addition to individual therapy, building a support network of family, friends, and community resources is essential for navigating grief and loss. Supportive relationships provide comfort, validation, and companionship during difficult times, helping individuals feel less alone in their grief journey. Psychologists such as Heidi Kling often encourage clients to reach out to loved ones for emotional support, practical assistance, and opportunities for connection and belonging. By fostering meaningful connections and nurturing supportive relationships, individuals can find solace and strength in the presence of others, easing the burden of grief and promoting healing and resilience.
