My first resource that I would recommend or refer a grieving person would be Seattle Widowed Support Site. This site provides information on Grief Support Services in the Seattle area. This site is specifically designed to provide support to younger population, who are dealing with grief and not the end-of-life issues. This site would be a great source for the family members who have lost a spouse/partner, sibling or parent.
What services are offered?
The Healing Center provides grief support groups and individual counseling for adults, children and families. This particular center also provides a safe, supportive, confidential, and nurturing environment for people who are struggling with loss.

My evaluation of the resource: why is this good option?
I think this is a good source for younger population because it provides variety of group session for different age group, and it also provides grief support for individuals as well as for the group counseling.
My second resource would be Growth House Ink. This website provides education about life-threatening illness and end of life care. This particular resource helps people to improve their quality of life at the end of their life and provide them with grief support system.
