GRIEF SERVICES

GRIEF SUPPORT IN HOSPICE CARE

Grief is the natural response we have to loss. Grieving can also be one of the hardest journeys we go through as human beings. While no two people experience or move through grief the same way, grief is a process we are faced with, both when anticipating a loss and after a loss has occurred. We are here to provide compassion and support as well as information and resources. The more empowered we are with tools that support us, the better equipped we are to manage the most difficult waves associated with the grieving process. There are as many ways to grieve as there are people in this world. Four Seasons provides support for each unique journey. Our compassionate and knowledgeable Grief Services Team offers grief support for up to 13 months after the death of a loved one to guide families through this complex process.

Purchases Wi Purpose Our Home Stores are honored to help you during the special time of parting with your loved one’s per- sonal and household possessions. We know the importance of memories associated with these items. We treasure them and appreciate you allowing us the opportunity to resale them. The resale of these items make care possible and goes directly to patient care. We are not a thrift store, we are a resale store that makes a difference in the lives of others. We will help by picking up large pieces of furniture, appliances, boxed household items, and bagged clothing for donation to the Hospice Home Sores. To schedule a pickup please call 828.243.9497. Dona- tion drop offs may be made at one of our stores.

Our grief services include: • Individual counseling • Grief support groups • Letters and mailings

• Phone calls • Printed and on-line reading materials

• Other specialized grief sup- port workshops, seminars, and events
