Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Bereavement Support Group?
Family Hospice offers Bereavement Support Groups for adults over the age of 18. In addition to providing support and understanding from others who have experienced a loss, participants are provided with the opportunity to begin the healing process in a safe and non-judgmental environment. Family Hospice's Bereavement Support Groups are facilitated by professional staff and/or trained volunteers.
How much does it cost?
There is no charge to attend.
How long after the death should I wait before attending a group?
Each individual grieves differently and is often the best judge of when one is able to share their story.
What if a Bereavement Support Group isn’t enough?
If help beyond (or in addition to) a Bereavement Support Group is needed, the Family Hospice Bereavement Department can provide information about additional resources. Please note, Family Hospice does not endorse particular therapists but can provide information by which a person can select a therapist that best meets their needs.
