Grief is a normal,
natural reaction to the loss of a loved one, although at times
it may feel like an emotional roller coaster. This can be a very
challenging time, mixed with different feelings that can be very
confusing.
Grief is individual and
unique. As every relationship is unique, so are the feelings and
thoughts that each person will have about a relationship altered
by death.
Bereavement Care
is available to anyone in the community who has a need. Our
bereavement programs offer a variety of opportunities for
ongoing emotional support and education about grief, loss, and
life adjustments following the death of a loved one.
Casa de la Luz Hospice
services do not end with the death of the patient. Bereavement
services include a supportive phone call program from
professional bereavement counselors, various support groups,
individual counseling, and other specialized programs.
Casa's bereavement support groups/programs are open to the community and there is no charge to the participants.
