Bereavement Support Through Life's Most Difficult Transition
Are you preparing for the loss of someone precious, or have you recently experienced the passing of a loved one? Grief doesn’t follow a schedule, and healing doesn’t happen overnight. Town Square Hospice bereavement services recognize that each person’s journey through grief and loss is deeply personal and deserves professional, compassionate support.
Our hospice bereavement support extends far beyond the end of hospice care, providing guidance and community for up to 13 months as you navigate this profound transition. You don’t have to face this alone.
Comprehensive Bereavement Support for Families
Before Your Loved One Transitions
Grief often begins before someone passes away. Our bereavement program includes anticipatory grief support, helping family members process complex emotions while their loved one is still receiving hospice care. This early support helps build coping skills and prepares families for the journey ahead.
Individual Counseling
Professional grief counseling provides a safe space to process emotions, memories, and the practical challenges that arise after loss of a loved one. Our licensed counselors understand how each person experiences grief differently and tailor their approach to your specific needs and timeline.
Group Support and Community
Sometimes healing happens best in community with others who understand. Our grief support group connects you with family, friends, and community members who share similar experiences. These groups provide peer support, practical advice, and the comfort of knowing you’re not alone in your journey.
Memorial and Remembrance Services
Honoring your loved one’s memory can be an important part of healing. We help coordinate memorial services that celebrate life and provide opportunities for family and friends to gather, share memories, and begin the healing process together.
Personalized Support That Adapts to Your Needs
Multiple Formats for Different Preferences
Understanding that everyone grieves differently, we offer various bereavement support options. Some families prefer individual and family counseling sessions, while others find strength in group settings. Many families benefit from a combination of both approaches.
Extended Timeline Recognition
Grief doesn’t end when others think it should. Our hospice bereavement support services continue for 13 months after your loved one’s passing, recognizing that healing happens gradually and requires ongoing professional guidance and community connection.
Practical and Emotional Support
Beyond emotional healing, grief often brings practical challenges. Our bereavement care includes guidance on managing daily tasks, making important decisions, and rebuilding routines after a significant loss. We help address both the emotional and practical aspects of grief.
No Cost Barrier to Healing
All bereavement services are provided free of charge to families who have received hospice care through Town Square Hospice. We believe that financial concerns should never prevent someone from accessing the mental health support they need during this vulnerable time.
Frequently Asked Questions About Grief Support in Hospice Care
When Should I Seek Support for Grief?
There's no "right" time to begin grief support. Many families benefit from starting before their loved one passes, while others prefer to wait. Our team remains available whenever you feel ready to seek support.
What If I'm Not Ready for Group Support?
Individual counseling provides privacy and personalized attention for those who aren't comfortable in group settings. You can always transition to group support later if your preferences change.
Do You Support Children and Teenagers?
Yes, our bereavement service includes age-appropriate support for younger family members. We understand that children and teens process loss differently and require specialized approaches.
What If My Loved One Wasn't a Hospice Patient with Your Organization?
While our extended bereavement program serves families from our hospice care, we also provide limited community bereavement services. Contact us to discuss available options for your family.
How Long Does Grief Counseling Typically Last?
Grief follows no timeline. Some people benefit from short-term support, while others prefer longer-term guidance. Our counselors work with you to determine what feels most helpful for your mental health healing journey.
