Our 13-Month Bereavement Program
Bereavement support is not an add-on to hospice — it is part of hospice. Every family we serve is automatically enrolled.
Phone check-ins
Regular calls from our bereavement coordinator to see how you are doing.
Support-group resources
Connections to grief support groups in your community and online.
Anniversary contact
A personal call or card around the anniversary of your loved one's death.
Our bereavement program continues for thirteen months and may include phone check-ins, support-group information, mailings about coping with grief, and a contact around the anniversary of the death.
Grief looks different for everyone
Grief is not linear and does not follow a schedule. You may feel waves of sadness, relief, gratitude, anger, numbness, or sudden tears at unexpected moments. All of this is normal. Be patient with yourself.
Your Bereavement Coordinator
Our bereavement coordinator stays in touch with surviving family for thirteen months after the loss — phone calls, support-group resources, and a contact around the anniversary of the death. You do not need to reach out first; we will call you.
Bereavement Coordinator
Our bereavement coordinator stays in touch with surviving family for thirteen months after the loss — calls, support-group resources, anniversary check-ins. Grief support is not an add-on to hospice; it is hospice.
When to seek additional help
Reach out to a counselor or a primary care doctor — and let our bereavement coordinator know — if you experience prolonged inability to function, hopelessness that does not lift, persistent insomnia, or any thoughts of harming yourself.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text:
988 — Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text, free, 24/7)
