Grief Support

Working through grief after the death of a loved one can be one of the most profound experiences of our lives. Our experienced bereavement team and specially-trained volunteers provide compassionate support to hospice families for up to 13 months following the death of their loved one. During this difficult time, family members receive phone calls, cards and letters.

We also understand that each person mourns in his or her own way. That’s why we offer a wide variety of grief support programs at no charge.

Support services include:

• Support and self-help groups
• Workshops on topics related to the grieving process
• One-on-one support- up to 8 sessions
• Camp Jamie, a camp for grieving children 6-14
• Workplace bereavement services
• Grief support in schools
• Referrals to affliated community resources as neccessary.
