Because we recognize the death of a loved one brings enormous changes, The Community Hospice has developed expertise in helping family and friends transition from the disorienting pain of grief to a healthy reinvestment in their lives.

Grief is a natural human response to loss. There are many signs of grief. They may include intense feelings of sadness, fear, and anger; physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, fatigue, changes in eating, and sleeping patterns; and behavioral changes such as withdrawal and absent-mindedness. Although they are expected responses to grief, they can be overwhelming and confusing.

The professional counselors at the Grief Center are here to listen with compassion and help you sort through the process of normal grieving. By providing you with information about grief and about coping strategies, they can assist you with the challenges of this very stressful time.

Although it can be very intense, grief is not a mental illness. The counseling we provide is intended to provide information and support to facilitate successful transitions through the grief process. Our experience is that most people meet with our counselors between one and six times, often transitioning to one of our support groups.

If you are interested in individual or family bereavement counseling, for anyone, of any age, free of charge, please call for more information:
