While we would like to have chapters of Students of AMF on all college campuses across the country, the Grief Support section provides us with a means to support students on campuses without chapters. Through this website, you can learn more about what normal grief entails, chat with other college students who have gone through a similar experience, or read about grief and loss.
Our Forum offers a safe, comfortable, and uplifting place for students to share about their experiences with grief and loss.
You are not alone! Between 35 and 48% of college students have lost a family member or close friend within the last 2 years. The following resources and links may help you better understand and process your grief:
