Grief Support
"You matter because you are you. You matter to the last moment of your life, and we will do all we can not only to help you die peacefully, but also to live until you die."
- Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of modern - day Hospice.
Counseling, bereavement programs and support groups that assist families through the grieving process are an important service offered in hospice care.
Support is offered to individuals of all ages in both private and group settings.
Grief counseling is available to our patient families for a minimum of
a year following a death.
We also offer our grief counseling services to the community at-large.
