Choice Hospice
Bereavement

Support That Continues, Long After Goodbye.

Grief doesn’t follow a schedule. Choice Hospice offers many approaches to dealing with loss for our families, and for our wider community for up to 13 months and beyond.

Grief Support

Grief, Met with Compassion.

Bereavement is the period of grief and mourning after a loss. Everyone experiences it differently — and there is no right or wrong way to grieve.

Our bereavement team walks alongside families through this season, offering understanding, resources, and a steady presence whenever it’s needed.

Common Questions

Questions families often ask about Bereavement

Bereavement services and the bereavement process are an important part of the end of life journey and your hospice care experience. Bereavement is essentially the grief process, which can be experienced both prior to and after death.

Choice Hospice offers many different approaches to dealing with grief and loss throughout the bereavement process. We have bereavement services that extend up to 13 months past the loss of your loved one. Throughout this time, there will be bereavement staff reaching out to you through phone calls and mailings, as well as the option attend/schedule counseling sessions (both group and individual).

Most care is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance, often at little to no cost. We verify your benefits for you.

Wherever you call home — your house, a family member’s home, or a senior living community.

Yes. Our physician-led team coordinates closely with your existing doctors.
