Support Groups
Grieving is a normal and natural reaction to losing someone or something very special. The death of a loved one, even when anticipated, even when welcomed, can create emotional and physical challenges for the surviving loved ones.

Family Grief Support
Family Grief Support is a Wings of Hope program of intensive support to families of hospice patients during the 13-month period following the death of their loved one. Individual sessions, group activities (as listed below), and periodic mailings provide an extra measure of support. If a grieving person wishes to continue grief work following the 13-month service period, grief support remains available indefinitely.

- Growing Through Grief is a five-part educational series designed to help adult participants understand the grieving process.
- Holiday Workshops are offered for adults coping without a loved one during the holiday season.
- Annual Remembering Service is an event for hospice families and hospice team members to grieve together while remembering those they have lost.
