In addition to hospice and palliative care, Compassionate Care Western North Carolina provides comprehensive grief support and education to family members and the community free of charge. We understand that coping with a serious or terminal illness is challenging for everyone involved, and our bereavement services support all family members during care and for up to 13 months after a loved one’s passing.

Many people feel alone or abandoned when their loved one dies. For them, we offer a 13-month program that includes calls, visits, groups, cards, and other mailings to family members of hospice patients or anyone in the community suffering from loss. Our grief care team provides individualized grief support and education, ensuring no one grieves alone.

Memorial Services and Community Support

Our spring memorial service honors those who passed away during the previous year. It is a time to share good memories and remember the love shared with families. Patients’ families become our family, too, reflecting our commitment to holistic care.

Understanding Grief and Its Reactions

Grief is a normal, unique process that can cause stress, depression, and physical pain. Common reactions to loss include crying, disbelief, loneliness, guilt, anger, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, changes in appetite and sleep patterns, fatigue, and spiritual emptiness. Our grief support services help individuals navigate these emotions and find healing.

Myths and Misconceptions About Grief

We address common misconceptions about grief, such as the belief that time heals all wounds or that one should grieve alone. Our evidence-based modalities effectively assist those experiencing normal and complicated grief, providing individualized care to address each client’s unique needs.
