Central Oregon Bereavement Support

Grief is a natural and complex reaction to the death of a loved one. Survivors struggle with emotional, physical, spiritual, social, and economic changes. Bereavement services are an essential component of our Hospice program. Our programs offer various healthy environments in which family members can feel safe and accepted while navigating through this difficult time.

Our bereavement programs and services are open to the entire Central Oregon community not just family members of our patients. Whether you are dealing with your own grief or looking for ways to help a friend, you are welcome to visit our Resource Library located in our office for books or tapes to help you better understand the grief journey.

Adult Grief Support

Individual Bereavement Consultations

Meet with our Bereavement Coordinator to discuss your needs for grief support and counseling.

Adult Grief Support

Our adult grief support group meets each month on the second and fourth Tuesday from 11:30am to 1:00 p.m. Any grieving community member who wishes to have social interaction and support is welcome to attend. Prior Hospice services are not a prerequisite for attendance.  

Adult Grief Support Groups

These sessions meet once a week for eight weeks. The book set for this group is available for $30 and includes a journal. You can also purchase the book or journal separately for $15 each. Please call our office at (541) 548-7483 to find out more information.

Bereavement Companions

This is a volunteer-supported program available to Hospice family members who are alone and would benefit from a friendly visitor.

Social Programs

Our dedicated volunteer staff organizes and offers groups such as the Quilters Club. These events are designed to provide a supportive environment as bereaved family members ease back into the social world. Invitational inquiries are made once each year to determine interest in these programs.
