Bereavement Services & Free Grief Counseling
Extended Grief Counseling & Emotional Support
Your time with Seasons Hospice does not end when your loved one passes on. After we have cared for them, it’s time to care for you. Seasons Hospice offers bereavement services for those close to the hospice patient. Grieving families, friends, and caregivers can receive these bereavement services for up to 13 months.
Grief Counseling Options
Seasons Hospice’s grief counseling services are available to the public at no cost. In his own words, one of our grief counselors speaks about his journey to become a counselor and provides more information on the individuals he hopes to serve:
“In March 2004, my wife of 27 years and my 18-year-old daughter were killed in an automobile wreck. From that tragedy, God has equipped me to help others walk the difficult journey of grief. If you know someone who needs professional grief counseling, that is one of my assignments with Seasons. It will be free of charge and anyone, regardless of whether or not they use Seasons Hospice, is included in this invitation. Also, if you know of a church group, senior adult group, retirement center, civic club, or those needing continued education, I am available free of charge.”
The following topics are often covered in our grief counseling sessions:
- 10 Myths About Hospice Care
- Caring for the Caregiver
- What Is Grief & How To Deal With it in a Healthy Way
- Knowing The Steps of Grief
In addition to personal grief counseling, sessions on the following groups are intermittently available:
- Church Groups
- Senior Adult Groups
- Retirement Centers

- Continued Education Programs
- And more
