Central Oregon Bereavement Support

Grief is a natural and complex reaction to the death of a loved one. Survivors struggle with emotional, physical, spiritual, social, and economic changes. Bereavement services are an essential component of our Hospice program. Our programs offer various healthy environments in which family members can feel safe and accepted while navigating through this difficult time.

Our bereavement programs and services are open to the entire Central Oregon community not just family members of our patients. Whether you are dealing with your own grief or looking for ways to help a friend, you are welcome to visit our Resource Library located in our office for books or tapes to help you better understand the grief journey.

Bereavement Companions

This is a volunteer-supported program available to Hospice family members who are alone and would benefit from a friendly visitor.

Social Programs

Our dedicated volunteer staff organizes and offers groups such as the Quilters Club. These events are designed to provide a supportive environment as bereaved family members ease back into the social world. Invitational inquiries are made once each year to determine interest in these programs.

A Guided Autobiography

This guided autobiography workshop is designed to increase the quality of life of participants by inspiring them to recall, record, preserve and share their life stories in a way that reflects their unique self.  The next session will begin Spring 2020!
