 Bereavement Care                   

Heritage Hospice’s Bereavement Services are a fully integrated part of a full continuum of Hospice services, available without charge to the patient/family. Bereavement support is offered for 13 months after
the death of their loved one.

Education and support are the keystones of Bereavement Care. It is often difficult for family and friends who have recently experienced the death of a loved one to understand the grieving process.

Grief is an emotionally intense journey, and it is also a very physical experience for most grieving persons. Even when the death is expected, grief may strike with the force of a physical blow, leaving those shaken emotionally and physically. Loss forever changes the world of the bereaved. It's a new personal, social and spiritual environment.

The Bereavement Care Program is open to anyone grieving the death of a loved one no matter when or where the death occurred.
