How can bereavement services help us?
No one has to grieve alone. Sharp HospiceCare’s bereavement department offers patients, families and friends facing end-of-life issues a chance to ease their burdens and make grief a little less lonely, confusing and frightening. Our skilled mental-health professionals specialize in the needs of the bereaved and provide grief education, support and referral services. We offer individual and family counseling, routine telephone contact, support groups and a monthly mailing program, plus community education and referral resources. These services are free of charge and are available to families for up to 13 months after their loved one has passed away, although participation in support groups can extend beyond this time frame.
