Grief Support Groups and Services - A Pathway to Healing

Grieving the death of a loved one is difficult work. Often bereaved people need extra support as they continue their life without the presence of their loved one. Receiving the support can help a bereaved person make the journey through grief with a greater sense of hope, strength and connection with the world them.

Willamette Valley Hospice offers bereavement services to anyone in the community who has experienced the recent death of a loved one. Bereavement support is an essential part of hospice care. Continuing contact and support is available to caregivers and family members following the death of a loved one who received hospice or palliative care services from Willamette Valley Hospice.

    

If you or someone you know is grieving the death of a loved one, please contact our bereavement services team for information or support at (503) 588-3600 or (800) 555-2431.
