our services
Grief Support Coping with the loss of someone you love is one of life’s major challenges. Our licensed counselors and trained volunteers guide people of all ages through grief and loss. We provide a safe, supportive and confidential environment for children and adults to address their feelings and learn healthy coping skills. Our services, which include individual counseling sessions and support groups, are open to everyone in the community, including those who do not have a patient affiliation with The Elizabeth Hospice.
“When my dad died of cancer, I locked myself in my room and cried. I had a bunch of emotions and I felt all alone. I didn’t talk to anyone about my dad’s passing. My mom enrolled me in the Peer-Based Grief Support Group from The Elizabeth Hospice. At first, I just listened. After a few sessions, I shared my story. The weight of the world came off my shoulders. Talking to the other kids and facilitators relieved the pain that was inside of me. The anger, sadness and guilt have started to ease. I’m beginning to feel hopeful again.”
