Bereavement
Care Coordinator - Julie Robinson
Resource Links
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

educational and inspirational resources

for services and final arrangements

funerals, memorial services and celebrations of life for the family
and/or caregivers
