Grief Support Services

We offer grief support options from individual counseling to support groups for all in our community experiencing loss.

Our grief support services

Grief is a natural reaction to loss, and one that each of us experiences differently. We offer bereavement care, also called grief care, in ways that fit each person's values, beliefs and culture. We provide grief counseling through support groups, visits, phone calls and regular mailings of self-help materials.

Our grief specialists can help you understand and work through your feelings by:

Providing general information about grief and loss

Answering questions and helping you find your own answers

Listening to your stories with all the mixed emotions you may be feeling

Being a caring and reassuring presence

In addition to facilitating regular support groups and individual counseling to adults and children, grief specialists also provide special memorial services for families, staff and volunteers, and can offer referrals to families for specialized services in the community as needed.For questions or more information, contact us.
