Grief and Loss

The Blue Ridge Hospice's bereavement counselors provide grief and loss counseling to active patients, the families of deceased patients and to the community.  Individual support is provided to children and adults in a compassionate setting that encourages self-care and hope.  Families whose loved one received Blue Ridge Hospice services have the additional benefit of 13-months of one-on-one or family grief counseling.

Other grief services are provided to individuals and groups in a variety of settings including but not limited to homes, schools, churches, and facilities.  An Annual Remembrance Service for hospice families and staff is held each fall.   Bereavement literature, videos, and tapes on grief and loss are available through the Blue Ridge Hospice lending library.
