Internet Resources for
Physical Loss, Chronic Illness, and Bereavement
This is a guide to emotional support resources on the Internet for people who are experiencing physical loss, chronic illness, and bereavement; their friends and families; and caregivers. Some of the support resources you will be able to find through this guide are electronic discussion groups, directories to various non-Internet support groups nationwide, and documents in which people share their advice or experiences. We have not included resources that are primarily directed at professionals, medical resources without an emotional support component, or advertisements for fee-based services.
We hope that the listings in this guide will be helpful to you, whatever situation of chronic illness, physical loss, or bereavement you may be facing.
