Grief and Bereavement Support
What Would Grief and Bereavement Support Look Like for Me?
Feelings of confusion, sorrow, anxiety, fear, and anger around a loved one’s death are natural, and can continue for many months. You may not know how to deal with these emotions, but you can turn to AccentCare for support, care and help at any time.
We provide help through person-to-person support, memorial services, support groups, and written resources and materials. We also have support that is designed specifically for children, including the Seasons Hospice Foundation’s Camp Kangaroo.
We also provide support as our patients and families may experience anticipatory grief before a death has occurred. We are here to help those we serve through these experiences.
