Grief is a normal process of reacting to significant changes in one’s life. Bereavement involves learning how to live with the change caused by the loss of a loved one. Grief is a unique and individual experience and may cause changes to one’s physical, emotional, behavioral and spiritual well-being, all of which are normal reactions to loss. The grief process takes time and support.
The Hospice of East Texas is pleased to offer a variety of support programs designed to promote positive ways for healing. Bereavement support is provided to patients’ families for at least twelve months after the death of a loved one. In addition, many of our programs are offered free of charge to anyone in the community who has suffered the loss of a loved one.
All of the support programs are offered at designated locations throughout our service area.
When possible, we recommend that persons attend a Grief Workshop series or a Grief Seminar prior to support group participation. These confidential ongoing monthly groups provide a safe place to share experiences with others who are also grieving the loss of a loved one.
A grief workshop meets one day a week for 4 consecutive weeks. A grief seminar is a 1 day class.
The purpose of this program is to offer emotional support to grieving children and their families who have experienced the death of someone significant in their lives. Support groups encourage expression of feelings while educating participants about the normal grieving process. Support groups are offered throughout the year for children ages 6-12, as well as a concurrent session for parents. One on one support/education with a specific focus on teen loss is available upon request.
