Support Groups
Hospice & Palliative Care has developed a bereavement support and service program that strives to offer a warm and caring presence as well as to provide grief education for those in need. The program also exists to promote healthy grieving and healing from the pain of loss.
Bereaved families of hospice patients are generally offered support services for at least one year, but this can vary according to the needs of each person/family.
- Several ongoing monthly support groups are offered at the Hospice Store which are uniquely designed for those experiencing grief. The support groups enable grieving people a place to receive comfort, reassurance, social support and understanding.
