Bereavement and Support Services

It is important to ask a hospice provider if they have a robust bereavement and grief support program. Do they offer support both before and after a loved one’s passing?

Research underscores the importance of early, sustained grief support in improving long-term mental health outcomes for caregivers and family members. This comprehensive approach to grief support is a key aspect to consider when choosing a hospice provider. The positive impact it will have on the patient’s loved ones is key during this emotional and critical time. Hospices interconnected to their communities recognize the significance of grief and bereavement support offerings to the entire community. Every person affected by the death of a loved one should have a place to turn to for support and compassion. Being a community partner is crucial for hospice organizations.
