A safe place for
kids to help each other deal with grief and loss. It's
a place to deal with feelings in our e-mail
support group, to share and view artwork and stories,
and for parents and kids to ask questions and
find
answers.
Hospice Net
Bereavement
Hospice Net is also listed
on our links page as a hospice care resource, but we
list it here again because its section on bereavement
is excellent.

Our journeys with loss and
grief will break our heart, but with the support of
compassionate caregivers we can find our way even through
"the valley of deep darkness."
To provide the best possible care to bereaved patients,
family members and friends, Journeys Hospice offers the
following bereavement services:
- Assistance in making a full assessment of your
bereavement resources and needs in collaboration with
patients, family members and the interdisciplinary
hospice team, initially upon admission to hospice, when
significant changes occur in the patient's situation and
again upon the patient's death.
- Bereavement support as indicated by your assessment,
which may include:
- visits or phone calls by the bereavement coordinator
or other team members for emotional or educational
support
- providing educational and inspirational resources
- planning for services and final arrangements
- facilitating funerals, memorial services and
celebrations of life for the family and/or caregivers
- referral to other appropriate services
- A thirteen-month follow-up after your loved one's
death in accordance with your needs and wishes, which
may include:
- periodic phone calls and/or mailings
