GRIEF COUNSELING

When a Covenant Hospice patient passes, the support for their loved ones continues on. We are here to help you cope with your grief.

Our support services include:

Grief Counseling
Our grief counselors are professionals with expertise in the issues surrounding grief and loss. In that we understand that the grieving process is a uniquely personal experience, counseling sessions are extensively customized to meet the needs of the individual. Sessions are conducted on confidential, one-to-one basis. e-participants are given a symbolic memorial gift.

Peer Support Groups
A seven-week support group program for grieving families and loved ones, are offered on an ongoing basis. The groups are well-received by participants in that it provides a forum by which true dialogue and emotional expression can be shared with others who are in similar, relatable situations.
