Grief Services

Grieving the death of a loved one is difficult work. Often bereaved people need extra support as they continue their life without the presence of their loved one. Receiving support can help a bereaved person make the journey through grief with a greater sense of hope, strength and connection with the world around them.

Anyone in the community may attend our grief support groups whether they used our hospice services or not.

Bereavement support is an essential part of hospice care. Continuing contact and support is available to caregivers and family members following the death of a loved one who received hospice or palliative care services from Willamette Valley Hospice.

If you or someone you know is grieving the death of a loved one, you may contact our bereavement services team directly for information or support. Call 503-588-3600 or 800-555-2431 for more information.
