Support for the Grieving

This is by far the largest collection of resources that the Web has to offer to those who have experienced a death in the family. This page would be ten miles long were I to list every source individually, so instead I have chosen to include those sites which I deem truly excellent either by themselves or as links to yet more sources of comfort.
