Our care does not end when a loved one has passed. We continue to support the family for at least 13 months following their loss by serving as a caring and reassuring presence through counseling, education, and referrals to community resources.
We make personal calls, lead support groups and workshops, and share inspirational materials that give comfort and encouragement. When the need is great, we even connect with families and caregivers through personal visits.
Our services are open to anyone in the community. If you have suffered a loss and are seeking grief support, we are here to help. Please contact our Grief Support Team at EHBereavement@emmanuelhospice.org or call 616.719.0919
Emmanuel Hospice also provides facilitation of grief support groups on-site at your organization.
