Bereavement Support

Grief is a journey through a sometimes inhospitable wilderness.

Grief is a journey through a sometimes inhospitable wilderness. An understanding companion for the journey can help change the scene into a healing, hopeful, courageous walk where the spirit is honored in silence or remembered through sharing.

Our team of social workers, spiritual support counselors, and volunteers have years of experience as understanding companions, respect the pain of loss, and are ready to walk this journey with you.

You do not need to have been a family member of a hospice patient, and there is no charge to the participants of any of these programs.

Led by experienced bereavement professionals and dedicated volunteers, our support groups provide a nurturing environment for healing. We strive to create a safe, understanding space where you can share your journey, gain valuable coping strategies, and access resources to help you navigate your grief. Our commitment is to support you in finding a path forward while honoring your loved one’s memory.

Our current grief support options are listed below as are some additional resources. For more information or to speak with a member of our Bereavement Team, please call 509-525-5561 or email info@wwhospice.org.

You can also view all support and other events on our calendar.

Grief support begins the moment an individual begins hospice services. Anticipating a loss is one of the hardest experiences a loved one will have, and our team is here to support your during the hospice journey.

Bereavement services extend for 13 months following the death of a loved one, and in addition we offer community bereavement services, free of charge to anyone who may be grieving a loss.

You do not need to have been a family member of a hospice patient, and there is no charge to the participants of any of these programs.
