One-to-One Grief and Bereavement Support

Hospice Northwest offers individual, one-to-one grief support to persons who have been bereaved through death, regardless of how or when the death occurred. Trained volunteers are matched carefully to grieving persons, for support, companionship and non judgmental listening. Confidentiality is ensured.

Referrals can be made by anyone, provided the bereaved person is in agreement. Visits take place in the client's home, unless otherwise arranged.

Hospice Northwest volunteers can facilitate a bereaved person's healing by:

• recognizing the uniqueness of each grief journey
• having genuine compassion for the suffering of the bereaved person
• refraining from imposing their own spiritual or philosophical beliefs
• assisting the individual to access other community resources

All Hospice Northwest programs and services are available with no fee.
