Hospice Grief & Loss Support

Grief and Loss

We believe in a holistic approach to meeting people's needs of body, mind and spirit

Though we strive to keep our community healthy, we also wrestle with the fact that death comes to us all, and to all those we love.

Through GRMC Hospice, bereavement support services are available to anyone in the community adjusting to loss from death. Following are topics to help you through this very difficult time:

Grief & Bereavement Support Services

We help the surviving family by providing support through the normal process of grief.

Among the many services offered through GRMC Hospice:

  • Growing through Grief, a 6-week class, anyone grieving the death of a loved one is invited to register for this group. It isn't an open group. You are asked to make a commitment for 6-weeks and is offered two times during the year.
  • One-on-one Consultations for individuals /families for up to 6 sessions for uncomplicated grief support.
  • Monthly Newsletter (See below)

Individual consultations, group support and referrals are available to anyone who calls.
