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. Grief services include:

Grief Support for Children & Teens

Since children and teens also grieve in their own way, Four Seasons of- fers the Compasss program, which helps grieving children and teens who are surviving a recent loss or dealing with the anticipated death of a loved one. Compass grief services are available to 3 to 18-year-olds, from the time the patient is admitted to hospice care and can be ac- cessed at any time following the death of the loved one.

If you have any questions about ways to give, please contact:
