Hospice support continues to be available for the surviving family members as long as desired. It is important to realize there are no instant solutions, no early answers, and no timetable for recovery.

Our ServicesContinuing support is available to both those having Hospice services for their loved ones and to those in our community who have had no prior affiliation with Hospice of the Wabash Valley. Services are provided by a team of professionals and lay volunteers prepared for bereavement support work.
Visitation and telephone contacts will be provided to the survivors of the Hospice patient. The amount of contact can be varied depending on the individual’s changing needs and desires. Educational materials about grief and loss will be provided through a series of mailings for 13 months following the death of your loved one. |
Support GroupsWe encourage you to attend a support group meeting with a family member, friend or by yourself. Both the newly bereaved and the longer bereaved are welcome. The meetings are informal. There is time to share with the group or one-to-one. You are also welcome to just listen. It is important to understand grief, to learn coping skills and to have determination to survive the loss. The group offers understanding, friendship, support and care. Monthly presentations cover areas of concern to the bereaved. Many in the group will discuss ideas that were helpful to them as individuals. There is the opportunity to recognize and express feelings.
You are welcome to attend no matter where you are in your own grief journey. Support groups are free and open to the public. Contact us for more information on current bereavement support options. |
