Hospice Services of St Joseph Health view grief as a normal process that
can be accompanied by fear, loneliness and uncertainty. Our Grief Support
Services are designed to provide emotional and social support and education
to individuals through one-to-one counseling and support groups.
Our Grief Support Services are unique in that we provide grief support
to both hospice family members and to anyone in the community, whether
or not they have used our hospice services.
Grief services are supported by donations and fund raising efforts, and
are offered in both English and Spanish, at no charge to the recipient,
although any and all financial contributions are gratefully accepted.
