Yolo Hospice: Bereavement Services

Bereavement Services

The death of a loved one is the most profound of all sorrows. Although family members and friends may be supportive immediately following a death, there are times when they seem to feel the grieving person should be ready to “return to normal.” This may happen long before the grief process has been resolved. Someone outside the family who cares, understands and listens may be exactly what’s needed.

Our Services

Counseling Services
Grief counselors and trained volunteers provide individual counseling, family meetings, home visits and telephone contact as needed. Referrals to additional support resources are made when appropriate.

Support Groups
Support groups are offered throughout the year and are led by experienced facilitators. All are welcome to attend the drop-in group at any time. It is an ongoing group. All other support groups require pre-registration. Group size is limited to 10 participants and groups meet weekly for 8 weeks.

Education and Outreach
Education, in-service training, resources and referral are provided to schools, skilled nursing homes, and other community organizations upon request.

Annual Memorial
The community is invited to attend the annual memorial service hosted by Yolo Hospice each November. The interfaith spiritual service honors patients who died during the year.

Quotes

"Coping with terminal illness is all consuming for patient and family. As a hospice nurse, I feel it is most important to advocate, respect and use the knowledge we have to make the end of life the most comfortable it can be while always keeping in mind the unique needs of each patient."

~Jody Norton, RN
