Women’s Group
Experiencing the death of a loved one, whether anticipated or sudden, is a unique type of loss. This group offers women a gathering place in which to share with others who are experiencing similar thoughts and feelings while learning about normal grief reactions to loss.
Men’s Group
Men may experience cultural pressure to act stoically and bury their grief through work or activity. To address this, Hospice & Community Care offers a men-only group. This group is designed as a safe place for men to express grief in their own way.
Hope & Remembrance Memorial Services
Community members and patients’ loved ones are invited to join Hospice & Community Care to pay tribute to loved ones in an atmosphere of reflection and hope during this non-denominational service. Held each spring and fall, the service provides families the opportunity to reflect, honor, and remember their loved ones.
Our next Hope & Remembrance Service is May 2020. The exact date will be posted closer to the service.
Children’s Grief Camp

Children’s Gallery
Project HOPE art pieces are exhibited in the Children’s Gallery on our Campus. The Gallery allows participants to see their creations in a public setting, in addition to raising community awareness of grieving children and teens. Children who are guided and supported through the grief process learn appropriate ways to express their emotions, are better able to cope with loss now and throughout their lifetime.
The Garden of Hope, Children’s Book
Hospice & Community Care’s children’s book, The Garden of Hope, shares the journey of the Butterfly Family as they face the loss of their beloved Grandma Olivia. A useful tool for explaining the hospice experience to children, it is an excellent resource for those who work with children.
