After a Loss

What grief and bereavement counseling is available and who is it for?

If you or someone you know has experienced the death of a loved one, the support of others can play an invaluable role in the healing process. Community Hospice licensed mental health professionals offer individual and family counseling sessions at no charge to family members and caregivers who have lost a loved one through our program for a minimum of 13 months following the death.  Additionally, for patient family members, caregivers and members of our community who have lost loved ones, Community Hospice offers generalized and specialized therapeutic support groups, as well as bereavement literature.  Community-wide educational workshops, children's grief camps and Services of Remembrance (memorial services) also are held throughout the year.
