Bereavement
Death of a loved one does not end the physical, spiritual and emotional burden for families and those closest to them. Grief and loss can impact lives long after a loved one has died. Hospice providers offer bereavement education and support to family members at no cost for a minimum of twelve months after the death of a loved one. This assistance often includes:
- Individual or family supportive counseling for family members of all ages
- Ongoing support groups specific to the type of loss experienced
- Memorial services of remembrance
- Educational seminars on coping with loss
- Referrals to community resources that may benefit you
