Mission Statement

The Hospice Bereavement Program is designed to provide grief support for family members for the year following the death of a patient by being available to offer as much emotional support as the family desires through monthly mailings, individual and group counseling sessions, and by making referrals to community resources if desired.

Services Offered

  • Monthly Mailings:  each family receives a copy of Journeys each month for one year following the death of the patient along with periodic letters offering support.
  • Individual Counseling:  one-to-one counseling session with a bereavement professional in order to address emotions and needs related to the grieving process.
  • Children’s Counseling:  We offer counseling before and after the death – in home and office visits.  Please visit our Children’s Bereavement page for more information.
  • Group Support:
    • Women’s Group  -  meets each month on the 1st Wednesday afternoon
    • Men’s Group       -  meets each month on the 1st Monday evening
    • Adult Daughters  -  meets each month on the 3rd Tuesday evening
       
  • Bereavement Volunteer:  a trained hospice volunteer with an additional 10-hour training course in grief and loss who will provide support throughout the first year of the bereavement process.
  • Service of Remembrance:  a semi-annual memorial service provided for hospice families with the purpose of honoring the life of their loved one and finding support by being with other grieving family members and members of the hospice team.
