Bereavement Care works with both hospice and community families to offer support to anyone who has experienced one or more losses. Those losses are not confined to death alone; grief also strikes those who have, for example, gone through a break-up or divorce, lost a job, become alienated from family members, or lost their home. There is no charge for any bereavement service and programs are open to anyone who has experienced loss.
