Grieving a loss?
Missing a loved one is an indescribable feeling.
​
Feelings of emptiness, loneliness, confusion and abandonment can become overwhelming. It’s difficult to be prepared for the rush of emotions the grief journey can bring. It’s a walk that can eventually bring peace and hope, but it must be done alone.
​
Each of us experiences grief in our own way and at our own pace. Even if you’ve experienced a loss before, do not expect your feelings or healing process to be the same each time. Grief is really centered around love.
​
Through our extensive bereavement programs, Hospice of the Calumet Area offers expert support.
Our programs include our “Healing Hearts” grief support groups for children, teens and adults.
