Grieving is as much a part of our lives as living and dying. Many of us, however, won’t seek help following a devastating loss. Hosparus Health is so committed to grief counseling that we offer services at no cost for up to 13 months after the death of a loved one. This includes pre-death counseling for anticipated deaths.
Led by licensed professionals, sessions meet monthly or twice monthly, and can be individual, family, or group.
We offer special grief counseling services for adults, children, and teens, as well as extended family and friends. In fact, grief counseling is available for anyone in the community, regardless of a previous engagement with Hosparus Health. Thanks to our generous donors, there are no fees for support groups.
An ongoing support group for anyone who’s lost a spouse, partner, or any person special to them.
