Bereavement support and education is available for any child, adult or family in need of grief support or services at no cost to families. Hospice serves family members of Hospice patients for thirteen months after the death of their loved one. Additionally, our services are extended to many individuals and families from the community, whose loved ones have not been hospice patients. Hospice of Queen Anne’s provide bereavement counseling and services in several ways.
Visits from our bereavement coordinator can be conducted in your home or at the Hospice Center, or wherever it is convenient. People who are grieving often need to talk, and may need information about the normal grief process.
Classes meet once a week for eight to ten weeks. There is nothing like sharing with others who are going through the same thing. Contact Hospice of Queen Anne’s at 443-262-4100 for the dates of the next sessions.
A library of books, audio cassettes, and videos are available to borrow to help you understand what grief is and how to live with it.
Trained bereavement volunteers are available for phone calls or visit as a
listening friend.
Camp New Dawn is our annual weekend bereavement camp for children and teens who have experienced the death of a loved one. It is a two night camp that strives to help kids understand grief, realize they are not alone and help them cope with their loss in a positive, safe environment.
Camp Sunrise is a bereavement retreat for families, dealing with a death.
This is held every other year in collaboration with several other Eastern
Shore hospice organizations.
If there are several students in a school who have experienced the death of
