Remembrance Hospice recognizes that grief is a unique experience for every individual. There is no right way and no timeline for grief. Hospice care doesn’t end when a patient dies. After a patient passes away, our bereavement program continues to offer assistance to surviving family members for over a year after the passing. These services are also provided without cost. It is merely a component of the hospice services we offer. Instead, we walk alongside you as you navigate your loss and offer support.
We provide a wide range of services, including:
- Workshops
- Quarterly mailings
- Phone-based support
- Face-to-face counseling
- Annual patient memorial
- Assist family unit in coping with patient’s death
- Provide emotional and spiritual support to the family
- Comfort the family before and after the individual’s death
- Follow-up assessment and assistance for over a year after passing
This ongoing care reflects our commitment to providing meaningful family support in Medina, Ohio.
Is Bereavement Support Right for You?
Grief can affect people differently, and not everyone has the same needs after the loss of a loved one. This service is ideal for those seeking emotional guidance, community, or a place to process loss. Whether the grief is recent or ongoing, having structured support can bring comfort and understanding through the healing process.
How Bereavement Support Improves Quality of Life
While grief is deeply personal, support can make a significant difference in daily life. Counseling and check-ins provide outlets for expression, and memorials offer meaningful reflection. These services help reduce emotional isolation, promote healing, and encourage open conversations within families.
Your Guide to Bereavement Support: How It Works
Once hospice care ends, our team reaches out to family members. Services begin with a follow-up call and an invitation to participate in various support activities. From there, families can receive quarterly mailings, participate in group sessions, or schedule one-on-one support, depending on their needs.
Why Families Trust Bereavement Support for Quality Care
Our approach is compassionate, consistent, and confidential. Families trust our bereavement services because they feel heard, supported, and guided through an emotionally challenging time. The continuity of care we offer makes a lasting impact on the healing process.
