Grief Support Groups:

Hospice & Palliative Care of California support groups offered by Hospice & Palliative Bereavement Services provide information and guidance to those experiencing grief and loss.

Grief is a complex and challenging emotion that individuals may experience after the loss of a loved one. It can manifest in various ways, including feelings of sadness, anger, guilt, and confusion. Many people find solace and support in attending grief support groups, where they can connect with others who have also experienced loss and receive guidance from trained professionals.

Our team at Hospice & Palliative Care of California’s goal is to cover these main objectives through our grief and counseling support groups:

• To provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to express their emotions and share their experiences related to grief and loss.
• Offer emotional support: Create a space where participants can openly discuss their feelings and receive empathy from others who understand their pain.
• Provide information: Educate participants about the grieving process, common reactions to loss, and coping strategies to help them navigate through their grief journey.
• Foster connection: Facilitate opportunities for participants to form connections with others who have experienced similar losses, encouraging a sense of community and understanding.
• Promote healing: Assist participants in finding healthy ways to cope with grief, promoting their overall well-being and facilitating the healing process.
