Grief & Bereavement Support

The emotional pain and stresses associated with advanced illness or death can be as difficult to overcome as physical symptoms. Inspiration Hospice offers a wide range of compassionate and credentialed counseling services for patients and families facing death and loss. Our counselors can provide help and support in many ways:

• A nurse and a counselor provide short-term crisis consultation to registered Inspiration Hospice patients and families in their homes.
• Patients and family members can arrange to talk to our counselors about their experiences facing illness, death and loss.
• Family bereavement counseling and support groups are offered as long as needed following the death of a loved one.
• Counseling and support is available to patients and family members one-on-one, by telephone or in person, and in group settings.
• Regular seminars and workshops on grief related issues are offered.
• Referral to community practitioners and agencies is provided as needed.
  
  In addition, Inspiration Hospice staff can help facilitate arrangements such as funeral planning or settling the estate.
