Grief & Wellness
Life has its ups and its downs, its highs and its lows. Different people handle different situations in a multitude of ways. No matter who you are, no matter what you are going through, you are not alone. There is always some to talk to, there is always a reason to go on.

The UCC Library has a number of resources to help you understand and process what you are going through. Below you will find a listing of some of these resources (articles, books, eBooks, & films). You can access these digital materials by clicking on the links and logging in with your 800#. For physical resources, please visit us during regular library hours.
