Grief Support for Hospice Families

Grief Support for Hospice Families

A KCH Grief Support Specialist contacts each family, following the death of a loved one who received KCH hospice care. Together, you will decide which services may be helpful to your family. Our Grief Support Specialists have backgrounds in social work, chaplaincy, or counseling, and experience working with grieving people.

 Grief Support for Hospice Families may include:

  • Individual grief support
  • Supportive calls or telehealth
  • Community-based workshops and support groups
  • Grief support camps for families with children ages 6 to 17
  • Informational mailings and emails for a year following your loss
  • Online information, articles and links regarding grief support at KCHospice.org/griefresources

Sorting Through: What To Do With All This Stuff:

Figuring out how to take care of a loved one’s possessions after a death can feel like an overwhelming task, but it can also be healing. Join us for three support sessions designed to help you consider both practical and sentimental belongings, and to guide you as you develop a plan and strategies to manage those items.

Tuesdays - May 7, 14 and 21, from 10:30-11:45 am at KCH Solace House

To register, please contact Christy Hansen at 816.363.2600
