You experience grief because of the deep love and connection you have to someone who has died. The way you deal with grief is unique. That uniqueness is honored by the bereavement facilitators at Hospice of Marion County.
They know that it is normal to experience a wide range of feelings including sadness, depression, anger, guilt, anxiety, hope and finally acceptance. Sharing your memories, your feelings and your strategies for coping with others who are also grieving can be especially helpful in healing and recovery. We offer grief support services to Hospice families as well as members of the community who have suffered a loss.
Hospice family services include:
- At least 13 months of follow-up by staff and
volunteers specially trained in bereavement support, including
phone calls, personal visits with one-on-one assessment, mail out literature and resource coordination if needed, all at the personal request of the bereaved.
- Adult Grief Support groups offer comfort and encouragement during a difficult time.
- Memorial Services of
Remembrance are special times to remember and celebrate
the lives of loved ones who have died.
- Grief Care seminars provide education and support to the bereaved.
- Children’s Program Services provide individual and group support for children and adolescents, such as Camp Mariposa (for children aged 5-12)
