Grief Support
Our Bereavement Team supports community members with compassion, understanding, and respect as they navigate grief. We offer guidance, resources, and a caring presence to help individuals find comfort and strength during a difficult time.
The weeks and months following the death of a loved one are difficult. During this time, people experience many different feelings, and sometimes changes to sleeping and eating habits and energy levels. Each person’s grief experience is unique and there is a wide range of “normal.” Our agency can support you through this challenging time.

- Bereavement assessment
- Support throughout the hospice stay for funeral/memorial service planning
- Grief educational materials and community resources provided to the bereaved
- Cards, letters, and telephone calls offering support
