Bereavement Services
When a loved one dies, family members may experience a wide range of emotions and grief that affects their daily lives. Islands Hospice is committed to helping families through hospice care and beyond. We recognize that loss and grief are often challenging, and we are ready to help.
What services are included?
We offer a variety of resources, including:
- Grief support groups for adults
- Individualized and group support for younger children utilizing Art and Play Therapy Tools as well as for teenagers using more direct communication tools
- Self-guided resources in our grief lending library
- Face-to-face visits with a bereavement counselor
- Memorial activities
- Referral to more specialized grief resources in the community (e.g. substance abuse experts, etc.)

Why consider a grief support group?
A grief support group offers fellowship and understanding from others who have experienced a loss and are facing similar challenges. Support groups provide a safe place to share honestly, care for and support one another, and find strength in addressing our emotions.
