Bereavement Support

Grief, the normal reaction to loss, can impact all areas of our lives for a very long time. The Assisted Hospice Care Bereavement Program offers opportunities to develop a better understanding of grief, learn healthy coping skills, and share feelings with others who are experiencing loss. It is not necessary to be a family member of an Assisted Hospice Care patient to participate.
Assisted Hospice Care staff is available throughout the course of care to assist patients and family members with issues of grief and loss. Bereavement services are offered to the family following the patient’s death and include:

• Grief Counseling
• Telephone Support
• Personal Mailings
• Bereavement Support Groups

Ongoing weekly groups meet in Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara Counties.
