Bereavement
The Bereavement Services Department at Hospice By The Sea is available to provide support, counseling, and understanding to you and your family during your time of grief. Bereavement groups are offered in Broward and Palm Beach Counties.

The loss of a loved one has many meanings for us. While every person’s experience is unique, there are some common features of grief . Hospice By The Sea offers the following programs in an effort to better assist you:
   
l Support Groups
l Individual, Couple, and Family Counseling
l Childrens’ Grief Camp		 Memorial Services
l Community Outreach
l Educational Seminars
 

Support Groups

Hospice By The Sea’s support groups are designed to help you to adjust to life without your loved one. In a safe and caring atmosphere, feelings and coping skills are explored and information is shared. All groups are conducted by professional clinicians and run on 4-week cycles. Pre-registration is necessary, as space is limited.
 

Individual, Couple, and Family Counseling

Counseling is available for those who would be uncomfortable in a group setting or who need extra help in a crisis situation.
 
Camp Good Grief

Children have an ability to combine happiness with sadness. Camp Good Grief is a weekend bereavement camp for children, ages 6 - 13. Activities such as memory collages, drama, therapeutic art projects, crafts, and outdoor games make up the camp program. The day culminates in a memorial service. Grieving children often feel a sense of isolation and Camp Good Grief helps to minimize that feeling.

 

Memorial Services

Hospice By The Sea invites the families and friends of the patients we were honored to care for to a Memorial Service. In this time of reflection, we remember our loved ones. The service is followed by a time of fellowship. Services are held in Broward and Palm Beach Counties.

 

Community Outreach Services

Seminars and workshops on various grief related topics are presented throughout the community as well as at state and national conferences. Requests may be tailored to your group or organization’s needs.
