Bereavement Support: What You Could Expect

Loss is never easy for families, especially the loss of a loved one under hospice care. For this reason, hospice care providers offer families bereavement support services to help them cope with loss and grief.

We offer hospice care in San Antonio, Texas, for patients with a life-limiting illness and a prognosis of six months or less. Our services also include bereavement care for their families. Here are a few things families could expect from bereavement care services:

• Emotional support

  Families could expect emotional support services to help them address their grief. Emotional support includes conversations with counselors, expressions of empathy, and a safe space to share feelings without judgment to help family members manage their suffering.

• Counseling and Therapy

  A mental health professional, such as a counselor or psychologist, can help family members navigate their emotions and develop coping strategies to help address grief and loss. Our team and home health care in Texas can help patients and their families cope with impending loss and assist them with their activities at home to promote comfort and independence.

• Education About Grief

  Bereavement support often includes information about the grieving process. Understanding the stages of grief and recognizing that everyone grieves differently can help family members navigate their unique journey.
