As part of the Hospice Care Team, Bereavement Counselors work to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs for not only the patient but the whole family. Did you know that Big Bend Hospice provides bereavement care to our patient’s family for 13 months after the loss of a loved one? This is to help the family and friends get through every special holiday all the way up to one month after the anniversary of their passing. In addition, Big Bend Hospice offers Therapeutic Programs that support both our patients and the community. These programs include Animal Therapy, Veterans Services, Music Therapy, and Community Bereavement Care. These programs are offered at no cost. In honor of National Grief Awareness Day, we invite you to donate to Big Bend Hospice Foundation. Your gifts directly support our Community Bereavement Care, which provides monthly grief and suicide loss support groups, school programs, and youth bereavement camps.

Does your child need a safe and supportive space to talk about the death of someone special? Big Bend Hospice is here for you, free of charge and open to the youth in our community. Big Bend Hospice offers a free monthly support group for children ages 6-12. The loss does not have to be recent for a child to benefit from participating. Our next meeting is Tuesday, August 27th, from 5:30-6:30pm in the cozy Family Room at the Jean McCully Family House, next to the Margaret Z. Hospice Dozier House. This group is a safe space for children to share their feelings, ask questions, and learn healthy ways to cope with grief. To learn more, visit: https://bit.ly/3WYWqc4
