Grief Counseling Therapeutic Support Groups

Group counseling services are available through Community Hospice for those who have experienced the death of a loved one. The eight-week long therapeutic support groups will help you identify ways to cope with your loss.  Sessions will cover common grief reactions, coping strategies and staying connected to your loved one.  Program participants must meet with a bereavement counselor before joining a group.

Professional bereavement services are available to anyone in the community and at no charge to Community Hospice families.  A fee is applied to community participants and may be adjusted based on one's ability to pay. Costs cover the assessment and group sessions. Groups fill up quickly.  To schedule an appointment and reserve your place in a group, please call 904.407.6330.

New Grief: Good Grief

Each of us will experience grief at some point and while it is a universal experience, it is also a unique one.  There are no healing formulas or "right" ways to manage grief but there are healthy and effective ways to cope and achieve balance in our lives.

New Grief: Good Grief is designed to help individuals who have recently experienced a loss to identify common grief reactions and to learn healing is possible. The one-hour group workshop will help attendees:

  • Identify physical and emotional reactions to the loss
  • Learn ways to help alleviate bereavement-related stress
  • Become familiar with the healing process
  • Learn the difference between grief and depression
