Bereavement Services

One of the many benefits hospice provides is access to bereavement services. Bereavement counseling offers emotional, psychosocial, spiritual and support services to assist with issues related to grief, loss and adjustment both before and after the death of the hospice patient. Services begin as soon as the patient is admitted to the hospice program, and continues for 13 months after the death. We also hold our memorial services bi-annually. This is an opportunity for you and your family to come together with our hospice staff and share this journey.

A support group can provide a helpful and supportive atmosphere for some people. Interim Hospice offers a number of support groups- some general and others more specific.

“Courage to Grieve” is a safe place where you are free to share your sorrows and your joys with others who are acquainted with loss. The group will be facilitated by people who understand the grief process. However, the real experts are the ones who are on the difficult journey of living life after the death of a loved one. We invite you to come and add your expertise to the mix as we share and learn together. Please contact your local office to learn about our different support groups offered. Map
