Our team of volunteers offer support through a card ministry, visits, educational materials, encouraging phone calls, lending library, and bi-annual support group sessions.
Loved ones can be memorialized through donations to the grief ministry at TUMC or a book gift to our lending library.
Volunteers are welcomed to join our committed grief team members who have traveled the journey of grief.
