wow. Hospice offers free grief groups or counseling

so sorry to hear of your loss, cally. I hope you and your mom find peace of mind soon.



Hospice is wonderful - my wife and I both lost our dads in the last 5 years - thankfully, they both had hospice care at the end. Remarkable service.

I know hospice is wonderful. My dad had a stroke and died suddenly so we never used hospice. We would have under different circumstances.

I'm glad you found them and their counseling services.

I hope you and your Mom can find some peace through the holidays up and coming.

Thanks for the reminder about the programs available.

My sympathy to your Mom and family, too

Thanks for the tip on hospice....my Dad passed from cancer in 2004, but he never had a chance to leave the hospital.

... but wanted to say I am sorry for your loss. Hospice is wonderful. They would call my mom to make sure she was alright and since I was also a caretaker would talk to me. I don't know how we would have survived without hospice.

hospice facility, I doubt I could have made my way through the whole process. A friend told me about the meetings at our regional hospice facility. It is set up to help those with deaths of parents, spouses, family members, friends.
I went to the first meeting with great trepidation. Met some wonderful people, each with a with major crisis of their own.

I found great comfort meeting these fine people and talking about how to cope with a whole new world without our most important companion.

These people at hospice are trained to help you cope.
I am still at a loss but without them, I don't know what I would have done. There was no charge to attend these sessions for which I am grateful. I have limited funds and final expenses for my husband were great.

To those who need a shoulder to cry on, a learned voice for counseling, I recommend the local hospice facility.
I was with a group of 6 or 7 others. We all cried together, talked together and left the meetings feeling that we were not alone.

She plans to take the grief series again when it is offered. I hear her mention things she learned during the 12 week series every time I see her. I did some research and it is paid through medical in my area. What a great service.

Gram is sedated, morphined up and resting comfortably. They gave us lots of info on the bereavement services here in Oregon. excellent care.

I hope your Gram remains comfortable and at peace.
