Frequently Asked Questions
Grief Care
Who is Eligible?
Tri-Cities Chaplaincy offers grief support for anyone in our community who has experienced the death of a significant person in their life, whether a spouse or partner, parent, sibling, child, relative, or friend.
You do not need to be part of our hospice program to attend support groups or classes.
For families whose loved one received hospice care with us, bereavement support is available for 13 months following the death, as required by Medicare guidelines.
Our goal is to provide a safe and supportive place for you to navigate your grief journey.
When is Support Available?
Grief is unique for every individual. Some people reach out soon after a loss, while others come months or even years later. We encourage you to seek support when the time feels right for you.
Our bereavement specialists will walk alongside you, whether you prefer a group setting, a one-time class, or resources you can use independently.
Grief Care Services
We offer several formats to meet different needs:
- Closed Grief Groups (a set number of sessions with the same group)
- Drop-in Style Groups (ongoing and flexible attendance)
- Pet Loss Support Group
- Grief Book Club (book-led discussion and reflection)
For specific dates and times, please visit our website.
